I have now read the final(as yet released) collection of the LWtD blog, culminating three years of experience through the eyes of the writer in his fictional self in this alternate reality where the dead walk but aren't the only thing to fear.Sadness is but brief, as I can now move on to not only his first novel set in the same world (see "Victim Zero") but also, and herein lies the Excited!!, a collaborative effort between Josh Guess and another of my favorite authors writing in the same genre of post-apocalyptic zombie fiction - James Cook! (doing the happy dance here, may you enjoy that little mental image... oh, wait, you don't know me. Hmmm... imagine me at about 135 with long nut brown hair and matching eyes that reflect my natural humour. Now I can be happy, hehehe.)Back to the second book - check it out, and I think that I can safely say that even though it takes place in James' world of "Surviving the Dead," it most assuredly can be enjoyed as a stand-alone piece.So, after having spent several weeks joyously immersed with Josh, his family and friends living in New Haven and beyond... I have a sneaky suspicion that I haven't seen the last of their tale. LWtD is a fantastic and almost eerily realistic look at a "what if?" scenario, and the manner of its presentation is refreshingly different.Do I need to really say how much I recommend this book, and thus in essence the series as a whole? Yeah, I am a Master of the Obvious. READ!Thanks, Josh.
