Zombies? Let’s Get Drunk!! [Book Review]
The King of Clayfield by Shane Gregory is told from the POV of a guy who works at a museum, seemingly out of touch with what’s going in the world, thus getting caught off guard by an outbreak in his town of Clayfield, Kentucky. Not really having a life, the main character decides to wait for the government to come to his [...]
The Alaskan Apocalypse Continues… [Book Review]
Containment: Alaskan Undead Apocalypse Book 2 by Sean Schubert was a pretty satisfying sequel to Infection: Alaskan Undead Apocalypse, but I’m not sure if I would go so far as to say that it was “better” than the first installment. There was more character development, but the timeline in this trilogy is moving so slowly that I’m concerned that the [...]
RIP Z.A. Recht: The Ending of The Morningstar Strain
Survivors: The Morningstar Strain is a novel that I have been waiting a very long time for. The first two novels, The Plague of The Dead & Thunder and Ashes, were written by Z.A. Recht, who passed away unexpectedly before the final book was completed. Of course, any time someone passes away, regardless of the circumstances, no one likes having [...]
Mad Swine Spreads Into Winter [Book Review]
Mad Swine: Dead Winter is the second in a zombie series by Steven Pajak, although the status of Pajak’s “crazies” as zombies is still in dispute in some circles. Dead Winter managed to survive my make-or-break rule about book series (if the follow-up doesn’t impress me, I give up), even though it is significantly less brutal than the first story. [...]
The Thinking Zombie Has Evolved [Book Review]
The Reanimation of Edward Schuett by Derek J. Goodman is the most incredible zombie concept that I’ve read since Kim Paffenroth’s Dying To Live Series; Edward shambled through my dreams for several nights, after I finished reading the novel. I just couldn’t stop thinking about the story – I’ve never even heard of Goodman before this, but he has my [...]
Eaters = FUBAR [Book Review]
Eaters by Michelle DePaepe follows the survival of Cheryl, an insurance agent returning from a weekend camping trip with her fiancé, only to discover a deadly virus outbreak that is mutating the afflicted. God help us if this is how the zombie apocalypse goes down…zombies are bad enough – zombies that are capable of coordinated attacks and basic problem-solving are [...]
Meigs Treats Her Fans [Book Review]
Brothers In Arms by Jessica Meigs is basically a treat for fans of The Becoming series…a free treat (on Kindle), which makes me wonder why I’ve seen so many people complaining about it. I don’t know why anyone would read this short story, unless they were already fans of the series…and if you are a fan, you’ll enjoy this background [...]
The Undead Rise Again [Book Review]
Age of The Dead, the second book in the Rise series by Gareth Wood, is a vast improvement over the first installment. I love all the changes that Wood has made to his series: no longer in journal format, some dialogue, and several characters die. In addition to the changes in the author’s writing style, I also enjoyed the increased [...]
Murphy’s Law: Sequel to The Plan [Book Review]
Murphy’s Law (Roads Less Traveled Book 2) by C. Dulaney was a great follow-up to The Plan. Just as the first book was divided into parts, so was the sequel. The best part is that the author included far more zombie action, including a brutal carnage scene that had me wondering if there would be any characters left to write [...]
The Becoming continues… [Review]
The Becoming: Ground Zero by Jessica Meigs has officially hooked me into the trilogy. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the second book is the deciding factor in whether or not I keep reading a series. In the case of Ground Zero, Meigs manage to keep me interested in The Becoming saga, but I didn’t think the second [...]
