Glynn James's DIARY OF THE DISPALCED is really not my first pick when comes to reading for pleasure. I am not a zombie, horror fan; however, the basic story of survival is always a good plot line. Adding the survival of the psyche to that of the physical and my interest is always peaked. I found the diary or journal format interesting and I think it added to the validity of the story--if such a thing can exist in this genre. The main character, over time, became real enough to make me want to keep reading just to find out how things would turn out in the end. Without giving too much away, if you subtract the gore from the story, I think that the psychological trauma that the character goes through is fashioned a great deal after Poe and the like. And truthfully, who wouldn't wish to be considered with the likes of Poe. A good read for those who are into horror and gore.
