I must admit I am not a huge fan of horror stories.  This book sounded interesting therefore I thought I would try it.  I'm glad I did.  I really enjoyed this book.  Some of the more grisly descriptions of ripped apart bodies made me close my eyes and shudder slightly, however, overall a great story.  I loved the way the author included the monster's point of view.  A nice change in a horror story.  The action begins immediately with the dead rising from the earth.. This would be a great Sci-Fy channel movie!  The one thing I didn't care for was the constant introduction of new characters.  It can be somewhat confusing keeping all the characters straight.  I began to think of them as 'red shirt characters'.  Remember the old Star Trek TV show?  You always knew the characters in red shirts were going to get killed.  They are a necessary part of any story.  Overall, not my normal genre of book but I'm glad I read it.  Look forward to reading more by Ms. Griffin.Monster Story
