Where are the Zombies?
Dec 6, 2013 @ 07:14

I've yet to read a decent review on zombies.  Moreover, does the "theme" have to be the same? (blood & brainspattering gore)  I say NO.  Finally, there's a book out addressing this and other issues at the heart of this type of story: 


Zombie Chronicles: Cost of Humanity


I'll try to sum up without spoilers..ehem..in a word, evolution.  Think of how vampires have evolved over time (from insatiable neck-biting, to Vlad, to Interview with a Vampire). Same deal with Werewolves.  From gratuitous gore, teenage werewolf, and Wolf, with Jack Nicholson.  Or, think of them being put together, like Evolution or Twilight.  This is the the kind of progressive track that Zombie Chronicles: Cost of Humanity portrays Zombies.  In all my reading and movie reviews, only 2 other works come close, but never make the cross-over happen..until now.


Any thoughts?


 


ps. I'll be away this weekend, but will happily review (and reply) to all responses to this thread.

Hi JK. What exactly do you mean when you say, "I've yet to read a decent review on Zombies"? As this is just a group how could 'they' be reviewed?


If you were referring to works of fiction, "Apocalyse Z: The Beginning of the end" was superb (don't read the sequel as it's shite!) and World War Z (BOOK ONLY) by Max Brooks was also outstanding.


Call me old-school but I prefer my vampires à la Christopher Lee, not that mumbling twat Robert Patterson or whatever his name is. Laughing


Speaking as a fellow author, I wish you all the best with your books!
