ZOMBIES OF IWO JIMA is a meaty little read for fans of the walking dead and history buffs alike.I picked up this story this morning and chewed right through it as a Kindle Select freebie and thoroughly enjoyed it.I'll admit, I'm a sucker for the whole historical horror trope - particularly stories that mix World War II and the walking dead zombie mythos. And as soon as I'd started reading and met "Opie" I was hooked. And then - as I waded on in I could not stop reading. What a great idea. Throw a platoon of marines and a horde of zombies and a volcanic island into the food processor and hit frappe!At 4400 words it is a quick read - just perfect for reading on the bus ride to work.Or maybe when the boss isn't looking.Quick - turn the page!yours in storytelling,Steve Vernon
