"Tell Me When I'm Dead" by Steven Ramirez was recommended to me by a friend and although I don't often read Zombie stories I took his advice and downloaded the book. I was not disappointed.Right from the first page the powerful prose and action packed story pulled me into this excellently written book. The opening is an excellent preview of the gore, action and fast paced action to come. First however we learn more about our hero, David, a regular guy and dry alcoholic who just recently rebuilt his life and married an amazing wife, Holly, but things are complicated.Set in a sleepy Californian town, which is just a "passing point to better places," Jim and David have a car accident and Jim goes missing, leaving an injured David and a clueless police. Soon after the accident animals and humans are found dead near Jim's house and we dive into a classic Zombie-virus story.What makes "Tell Me When I'm Dead" so special is the unlikely heroes, the great setting and the very tight writing. I hate to use the phrase in reviews, but I could hardly put the book down.
