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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
