Donald Trump: Zombie Hunter by Jon Davidson

Donald Trump: Zombie HunterDonald Trump: Zombie Hunter is the raucous and topical satire of the man of the moment, Donald Trump, as he wins the presidency, fixes everything overnight, and then is attacked by a hoard of zombies, all of which come in the form of his current opponents: Chris Christie and Rand Paul, among others. The story is filled with amusing references to moments from the campaign trail – such as Trump taking on John McCain’s heroism. If you’re a fan of the horror crossover genre, it’s a unique take that’s at once funny and revolting.

Though the short story may be […]

Review: The Miseducation of the Zombie by Timothe Davis ★★★★

The Miseducation of the Zombie by Timothe DavisIn the United Federation of Sectors, a nation of 13 Sectors altogether, the creatures of the forest, lagoon, and full moon are all real, races from beyond have landed, and the dead walk the Earth – but that’s not the real issue these days.

After the Sectors began to pass proper laws for that sort of thing, Humans and the Other-Worldly Beings (or “OWBs”) are now fairly co-existent, both together and within each other’s broad spectrum of individuals. Sure, there are Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies – but nobody gets turned without a permit and proper medical procedure these days. Helping this […]

Shades: The Gehenna Dilemma (Shades Series Book 1) by Eric Dallaire

Shades by Eric DallaireShades: The Gehenna Dilemma is the extraordinarily original and inventive science fiction/dystopian novel of a bleak future where the IRS bring back debtors from the dead as “Shades,” turning them into servants of the state. As the old saying goes, “The only thing certain in life are death and taxes.” Shades takes this literally and combines the two ideas.

The book centers around Jonah, a reluctant IRS agent (called a “ghoul”), who’s trying to pay off his mother’s debts, while contending with his girlfriend whose job is to protect the poor from becoming Shades. The novel is a perfect balance […]

Review: Everything I Know About Zombies, I Learned in Kindergarten by Kevin Wayne Williams ★★★★★

Everything I Know About Zombies, I Learned in Kindergarten by Kevin Wayne WilliamsEverything I Know About Zombies, I Learned in Kindergarten by Kevin Wayne Williams follows 9-year-old Leticia leading a terrified band of elementary school students through the perils of a zombie apocalypse. As the promo materials make clear: this is emphatically not a book for 9-year-olds. However, for adults, and perhaps young adult readers, it is a stellar addition to the zombie genre, at once page-turning and lyrical.

Without scaring off genre readers, Everything I Know could be classified as a literary novel. Williams is an expert with dialect and the inner city setting. Leticia is a fully-realized protagonist, both mature […]

Review: The Red by Aiden Riley

The Red by Aiden RileyIn the north of England, in the year 2020, scientific breakthroughs by companies such as ‘L Max’ lead to a new dawn of agriculture, where food would show great changes and never spoil when properly treated by their products. Whether this was the reason that the people and animals of Earth quickly turned to what the survivors would refer to as “infected” – monstrous corpse-people who lose control of their bodies for the craving of flesh – would never be certain. Nor would be the fates of those left untainted. We join one small group of survivors make their way […]

Review: From Blood Reborn by Keith Soares

from blood reborn reviewFrom Blood Reborn is the third part of the Oasis of Filth series by Keith Soares, following the unlikely hero of the nameless doctor in his continuing journey across the formerly United States of America. Years after the human race’s fall from grace with the outbreak of “RL2013” – a mysterious disease that causes a slow and maddening death to anyone who is infected, with no known cure – governments move their people more and more into sterile, utilitarian walled settlements where anything but absolute cleanliness and obedience is enforced with strict justice and regular “disappearances” of accused plague victims.[…]

Review: The Hopeless Pastures by Keith Soares

Screen Shot 2014-01-06 at 16.50.41A sequel to the uncommon zombie apocalypse short story The Oasis of Filth, The Hopeless Pastures by Keith Soares is a second part of a trilogy set in a United States no longer “united”.

As the mysterious plague RL2013 pushes humanity to the brink of extinction, where governments ensconce and bury the remaining citizens in distant walled cities. No phone lines, no internet, no questions, no disobedience, the world is painted as a fearful and empty place outside of the clinically-white walls of each city, as modern-day lepers nicknamed “zombies” emerge from places decried as “dirty”, and people are shut […]
