Review:  THE HUNGER CHRONICLES is a collection of short stories based in a zombie apocalyptic world, however this novella goes way beyond all expectations of zombie stories.  I was flabbergasted by the amount of character depth and how instantaneous I connected with each of the main characters.  The voice is so different for each one that I it doesn't even seem like one author wrote THE HUNGER CHRONICLES.By 50% I knew I had to go see if this author wrote any other books.  By 100% read, I was ready to purchase the companion book.  And, then I discovered that it was her only book not available in paperback.Each story is stand alone.  The stories combined paint a hopeful yet morbid picture of what society has turned into.  I think the `hope' resonating through each story is the reason why I found the novella so irresistible.  In most zombie books, there is no hope.  There is no plan for redemption.  But, each of these stories, particularly show that there might one day be an end to the zombie epidemic.  Now, forgive me as I beg the author to release LIFE BITES on paperback for me.EDIT:  August 1st LIFE BITES releases on paperback!
