Zombies Ruining Special Occasions [Book Review]
Holiday of the Dead is not only a great sampling of some of the best authors from the zombie genre, but also an incredible showcase of what the horror sub-genre has to offer. With such a diverse collection, this anthology is sure to appeal to both hardcore zombiephiles, and those who are merely zombie-curious. Holiday of the Dead further proves [...]
No More Room In Hell [Book Review]
When There’s No More Room In Hell by Luke Duffy is a great addition to the zombie genre, despite editing issues. Unlike many undead novels, this new series is written from the POV of folks from the UK, so it’s pretty exciting to read how survivors make it through a zombie outbreak in a country where guns aren’t readily available [...]
Evolution Among Zombies: Judgement Day Continues [Book Review]
Judgement Day: Redemption by JE Gurley continues the story from Judgement Day: Zombie Apocalypse. In the first book, readers were shown various survivor groups fighting with each other – not for supplies, but for something much more valuable. In the sequel, readers find out what happened to the group that sought safety at the Biosphere. There is also an introduction [...]
Limited Edition Zombie Sketchbook
Last month, I attended the Flint Horror Convention in Michigan, and met a very talented artist by the name of Joshua Werner, who specializes in undead illustrations. In addition to being the author of The Brutality of Fact, and Adoration for the Dead: Tales of Insanity and Terror, he is currently writing his horror novel Open Casket. Werner runs As Fall [...]
How I Started The Apocalypse [Book Review]
How I Started The Apocalypse by Brian Pinkerton was far more serious than I expected. In fact, I most likely would not have read a book with this title and cover art (based on the cheese factor), but I’m a big fan of Severed Press, so I gave it a chance. Having read several other zombie novels featuring thinking undead, I didn’t [...]
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 [...]
Is Pluto Contaminated? [Book Review]
I couldn’t help it – I kept thinking of Resident Evil when I was reading Contaminated by Suzanne Robb (published by Severed Press). The story mainly takes place inside of an underground silo that contains several research projects, and when something goes wrong in one of the labs, several employees find themselves fighting through a zombie outbreak in an attempt to [...]
RETRO REVIEW: Don Roff’s Zombies
In Zombies: A Record Year of Infection, Don Roff did a great job providing another twist in the zombie genre. Unlike the survivor’s journal Day by Day Armageddon, this is more like a research journal complete with statistical research, illustrations, and personal experiences. However, despite being well-documented, the survival information is more sporadic than the ZSG. People fell ill, died, [...]
