Setting is one of the most important aspects of a good story, and with any of his books (and also this video) you can tell Moore cares passionately about this city. Then he walks around San Francisco while a camera follows him and talks about how the city ties into his fiction. I don’t need a book trailer to convince me to read his work at this point, but maybe you do? Well here is a video of Christopher Moore promoting his novel, Bite Me, by telling you, the viewer, to bite him. I’ve been reading Christopher Moore longer than I’ve been alive, which is a sentence that doesn’t make logical sense but it sounded good in my head, and I refuse to edit myself. It also gives me strong Tenacious D vibes (see: “Tribute”) with lyrics like, “Then you’ll make a movie based on the song based on the book that’s based on the greatest zombie movie ever.” The music here does exactly what any good book trailer should do: it gives you an idea of what kind of atmosphere you can expect to encounter with the story. You have a picture of the cover, with advance praise popping up here and there, but what makes it stand out is the music playing throughout the clip: a song specifically written and performed for the book.

It concerns a group of young filmmakers who set out to-you guessed it!-make the greatest zombie movie…ever.

Listen, sometimes I just want to hear a cool theme song, and Jeff Strand more than delivered with his young-adult horror comedy book, The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever. The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever by Jeff Strand Examples that take the standard formula and decide, “Nah, let’s do something a little bit different.”ħ. Sometimes it’s nice to discover book trailer examples that think a bit outside the box. We must not disturb it, we must not disturb it, we must not-Īnyone. And I do not understand why either, I am not paid to ask why, I just do what I’m told lest my disobedience stirs awake the rumored deity slumbering beneath Film 14’s office building. I write for a website that specializes in book trailers, and if I could show you the contract I signed with Film 14 you would realize I am legally obligated to view no less than 140 film trailers per week. Now, I know what you might be thinking: why on earth would you ever be in the position to subject yourself to so many book trailers in such a short amount of time?

Similar to film previews, book trailers can all start blending together after so long.
