I love Fairy tale reinventions and as soon as I stumbled across a Zombie one on Amazon I was sold. Hansel and Gretel in Kevin Richey's retelling stay very close to the Grimm version we all know and love. Unlike the Grimm version Hansel and Gretel are infected with a Zombie virus at the beginning of the story. I don't want to give any of it away but the progression from curious little children to Zombies was fantastic. At the end I was left shouting OMG several times. Yeah this short story was THAT good. I love also that this story includes other well known Fairy Tale figures. Since this is a serialized short all the stories and characters intertwine and that is just really neat to see. If your put off by the $2.99 price tag don't be. I know I'm gushing but this short was really worth it and I hope at the end of the year they come out in a single bound paperback edition. I know I for one will be buying it! I'm giving Hansel and Gretel Are Dead ''''.
