Review: can we say over-blown prose??

I read "Mountain Man" and liked it but cannot remember it being so....so heavily wordy.  It's like the author is trying to impress with imagery but with phrases like, "the door swung wide and two motorcycle boots were s*** to the pavement" or "the van shook on it's chassis as if the beast were having a mechanical seizure" or "vending machines had been raped and punished" and other such nonsense it's just laughable.  I will give points for imagination.  The story is fast and simple - okay for free but not worth paying.  And is anyone else tired of the crazy/religious fanatics/rapist/mad military men/etc that seem to populate zombie stories?  In general (and in this story) they are so far off the rails that I cannot imagine they manage to survive.I was sort of hoping this was a prequel that might be the story of how Gus became the Mountain Man or how he survived the first days of the apocalypse, but it's not.  Just a pointless trip to a hospital and an encounter with a crazy woman with no background whatsoever.
