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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
RETRO REVIEW: Zombie Haiku
First of all, I would like to apologize to my fellow zombiephiles for neglecting the site for over a month. This year has turned out to be quite crazy, and at this point, the only thing that could make it crazier is an undead outbreak. This is due in part to the recent EXPLOSION of zombie literature, and – unlike [...]
