One Thousand and One Nights by Ruth Browne"Night was falling as the roar of the Kawasaki's powerful engine drifted up from the ravine below. The approach to the compound was steep, snaking along a narrow tarred road with crumbling brick margins. Above, the bowl of the blue sky was deepening to indigo, and the vanished sun had left pools of shadow thickening under the pines."Sheri is a zombie hunter, survivor, and story teller. She and her sister Dani are living in a secure compound under the leadership of Aleksy Komarov. But she's chained up in his room most of the time because she's been bitten and everyone is afraid she will turn into a zombie at any moment. But Aleksy is entranced with her stories. How can she weave such a spell on him with words?This 64 page novella is rich in language, stories, current circumstances and background detail. It's impressive both in its compelling adventure and deep feelings of character history. It never felt rushed yet told a compete tale even though it was short. Very impressive. I will look for more books by Ruth Browne.I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
