Review: Excellent zombie fest - one star off for the abrupt ending
Rating: 4 out of 5

One of the most enjoyable and well-written novellas in the genre I've encountered. I loved the evocative lead characters and the tightly drawn forest-boonie setting: the nearest I can describe the combined quality of these attributes is like that produced by James Lee Burke when he's on top of his game. Prose, tone, word use and logic are right up there nestled together on the top shelf - these guys are evidently professionals - making the book a joy to read.The story builds neatly from page one until the action becomes fast and furious. This work grabbed my attention and kept me there all the way through.Unfortunately the ending is a complete sopping wet fizzle - it just...well...ends.  (The last 12 per cent or so of the space is merely a collection of blurbs for other works the authors have crafted.)  I took one star off for this shortcoming and confess I thought of deducting two, but the book is really too good to be levied so harshly.Highly recommended and well worth its modest cost.  Go on!  Treat yourself!
