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 […]
Zombie Outbreak In School!! [Review]
Zombie Youth: Playground Politics by HE Goodhue is the first in a new series released by Severed Press. I was intrigued by the idea of kids having no one but themselves to rely on after a zombie virus targets the adult population of the world. While I found this story to be entertaining, I thought it could benefit from better editing. […]
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 […]
Zombies At The South Pole!! [Review]
Ice Station Zombie by JE GURLEY opens with scientists conducting a military experiment in Antarctica, and one of the characters makes a reference to a failed experiment resulting in 129 men turned into zombies, so the author wastes no time introducing the undead element. The experiments involved “nanites,” and it was decided that they would be more effective as weapons. […]
The Necrovirus Has Been Released! [Review]
Necrophobia (Book 1, Wake The Dead) by Jack Hamlyn was a refreshing surprise; I decided to read it when I saw that it was published by Severed Press, and – once again – those guys have proved they know what zombiephiles want. It all begins with a scream… Steve, an Iraqi vet, finds one of his neighbors being attacked by […]
Machines of the Dead: Sci-Fi Zombies!! [Interview]
Machines of the Dead by David Bernstein (Severed Press 2012) is the perfect blend of sci-fi and undead horror. In this zombie apocalypse, the source of the virus is a nanobot experiment conducted in an underground bunker by Dr. Eugene Reynolds. The doctor sends soldiers up top to kidnap homeless people to be used as test subjects. Derek Mayfield is one of […]
Dead Tropics: The Smart Lori [Review]
Dead Tropics by Sue Edge is the first zombie story I’ve read that is strictly from a mother’s POV, and has children present throughout the story as main characters, rather than just passing plot devices. Lori is a mom in Australia who drops her kids off at various places before she goes to work at the local hospital as an ER nurse. […]
Yeah…Another Zombie Guide…But This One Is Damn Funny [Review]
Zombie Apocalypse Preparation: How to Survive in an Undead World and Have Fun Doing It! by David Houchins and Scot Thomas begins with a foreword that provides some insight on how their influences – everything from Romero to Monty Python – helped spawn their undead creation. I’ve read so many survival guides that my first reaction is to go Scarface […]
Taking On The Undead With A Pen: Felicia A Sullivan, Editor [Interview]
This past year, we began featuring the illustrators who bring you the great cover art on your favorite zombie books…particularly the artists that are used repeatedly by many different authors. I’ve been noticing another name showing up in a lot of the zombie novels I’ve been reviewing this past year, but it is not the name of an artist. Felicia […]
Domain of the Dead: Zombie Duality
Unlike most folks, I read Domain of the Dead by Iain McKinnon after I read Remains of the Dead, and I’m glad that I did. I felt god-like knowing what had happened to the ones that were left behind, while the three who flew off in the helicopter were left to wonder about the fate of their friends. You see, […]
