Surprise Sequel: Deadland’s Harvest [Book Review]
Deadland’s Harvest by Rachel Aukes is a welcomed sequel. I thought 100 Days in Deadland was a stand-alone, so, not only was I surprised that a sequel was written, but I was impressed with the creative way Aukes continued the saga. She didn’t use any over-the-top theatrics to include several characters from the first book. Based on Dante’s Inferno, but […]
Dig Into Dulaney [Book Review]
Shades of Gray by C Dulaney is the third installment in the Roads Less Traveled series. The Plan introduced us to a group of people who actually had a Z-plan in place when all hell broke loose. Murphy’s Law showed us how easily the best survival plan can fall apart in a zombie apocalypse. In the third book, Dulaney combines […]
Finally!! Zombified Book 2!! [Book Review]
Zombified: Shady Oaks by Char Robinson picks up several months after Hudson Place. I strongly recommend that fans reread the first book to appreciate how much Robinson has grown as a horror author. The survivors of Shady Oaks just can’t catch a break. Several months have passed since they left Hudson Place, and everything that could go wrong does…almost all at once […]
Between Major Infections…
The zombie genre is much like an actual horde of the undead: it WILL find you, and you WILL be overwhelmed. Whether it’s the books, movies or TV shows (hell, even Maron on IFC spoofed The Talking Dead in its season premiere), you can’t escape the infection. But, as any zombiephile could tell you, “Ain’t NOBODY got time for THIS!” […]
Excellent Sampler of Zombie Genre!
Many of the best authors in the genre are in this anthology, ZOMBIE The Other Fright Meat: CICADA by Patrick D’Orazio features a timeline that moves with the 17yr life cycle of cicadas in a local area – fabulous hook! And an excellent start to the collection! THE ZOMBIE PRINCE by James S Dorr is written like a fairytale of […]
Gareth Wood Is Dead Inside [Book Review]
Dead Inside (Book 3 of Rise) by Gareth Wood is a chilling crime thriller set in a post-apocalyptic community – I loved the combination of suspense, carnage and the undead! It is far different from the first book in the series, Rise, which was told in a journal format, and much more captivating than the second book. Age of the Dead […]
Five Reasons To Love Zombie Authors!! [Review]
Zombiephiles face a common problem: not enough time to read all the great stories that are out there. In fact, most book lovers have the same complaint…trying to get through reading lists that they’ve had for years. It’s even more frustrating when it comes to the zombie genre because it’s constantly evolving. So, with that in mind, I’ve put together […]
Bring On The Rain! [Book Review]
Rain: A Zombie Novel by Shaun Harbinger was great random find. At first, I was a little concerned that I might not like the main character, Alex, who is also the narrator of the story, because he is so down on himself for being a geek, but the mounting suspense in the beginning hooked me pretty quickly. Four friends are […]
Brutal Planet Delivers [Book Review]
Brutal Planet by Sean P. Murphy was a selection from my personal reading list, and I wasn’t disappointed with my choice. Told mostly from the POV of an anthropologist named John, this novel is full of incredible action scenes, and some great dialogue between characters. I think making the main character someone who is able to make professional observations about […]
Dead North Is Not Any Safer [Book Review]
Dead North is an anthology of Canadian zombie literature featuring some of the most amazing & imaginative horror scenarios that I’ve ever read. Usually, when I think of zombie literature, I think of outbreaks described in the States, the UK and, on occasion, Australia. Canada has simply been that place that American survivors try to flee to in the stories. […]
