Permuted Press: Deadly Waters Ahead!
Permuted Press has been spreading the infection, and then some. There seems to be a new theme forming in their zombie department: water is not your friend in an undead outbreak. Here are just a few of the latest titles that will have you running for dry land and high ground: In Dead Tide Surge by Stephen A. North, the […]
Excellent Sampler of Zombie Genre!
Many of the best authors in the genre are in this anthology, ZOMBIE The Other Fright Meat: CICADA by Patrick D’Orazio features a timeline that moves with the 17yr life cycle of cicadas in a local area – fabulous hook! And an excellent start to the collection! THE ZOMBIE PRINCE by James S Dorr is written like a fairytale of […]
Gareth Wood Is Dead Inside [Book Review]
Dead Inside (Book 3 of Rise) by Gareth Wood is a chilling crime thriller set in a post-apocalyptic community – I loved the combination of suspense, carnage and the undead! It is far different from the first book in the series, Rise, which was told in a journal format, and much more captivating than the second book. Age of the Dead […]
Five Reasons To Love Zombie Authors!! [Review]
Zombiephiles face a common problem: not enough time to read all the great stories that are out there. In fact, most book lovers have the same complaint…trying to get through reading lists that they’ve had for years. It’s even more frustrating when it comes to the zombie genre because it’s constantly evolving. So, with that in mind, I’ve put together […]
The Living Dead Series Lives On [Book Review]
The Living Dead Series by Joseph Souza has been one hell of a ride. If I hadn’t gotten the first two books at the same time, I might not have ever gotten past the first installment. However, I’m glad that I did, and I have become a huge fan of Souza’s in the process. Unfortunately, I didn’t think that Darmageddon […]
For Those Who Worship The Sun (and zombies) [Book Review]
For Those Who Worship The Sun by James Michael Rice is a great example of how the zombie genre has spread into other areas of fiction. I was looking for new undead titles to review for The Zombiephiles, and this novel came up in my Amazon inquiry. I can’t believe I found something this well-written through a random search. Not […]
Bring On The Rain! [Book Review]
Rain: A Zombie Novel by Shaun Harbinger was great random find. At first, I was a little concerned that I might not like the main character, Alex, who is also the narrator of the story, because he is so down on himself for being a geek, but the mounting suspense in the beginning hooked me pretty quickly. Four friends are […]
Brutal Planet Delivers [Book Review]
Brutal Planet by Sean P. Murphy was a selection from my personal reading list, and I wasn’t disappointed with my choice. Told mostly from the POV of an anthropologist named John, this novel is full of incredible action scenes, and some great dialogue between characters. I think making the main character someone who is able to make professional observations about […]
Besser’s Zombie Western Short
Cursed Bounty by Rebecca Besser was a pleasant, but macabre surprise. I’m not big into Western themes, but I still enjoyed the story. After a bank robbery involving multiple murders, the Sheriff of Bristleton requests help from the governor. Let me tell you, Besser’s governor would scare the crap out of The Walking Dead governor. The foreshadowing in the governor’s […]
Dead North Is Not Any Safer [Book Review]
Dead North is an anthology of Canadian zombie literature featuring some of the most amazing & imaginative horror scenarios that I’ve ever read. Usually, when I think of zombie literature, I think of outbreaks described in the States, the UK and, on occasion, Australia. Canada has simply been that place that American survivors try to flee to in the stories. […]
