I will always - ALWAYS - read a book about zombies. Say what you will about worn-out tropes, this particular monster always works for me, and Oliver Kennedy's 'Old World' is no exception. A near-future, apocalyptic, post-nuclear study in survival, 'Old World' follows the Locklear family as they struggle to cope, adapt, and live to see tomorrow in the aftermath of civilization's downfall. It's a fairly brutal tale, harrowing in its details, and unforgiving in the outcome. The zombies are implacable (and terrifying), hope is in short supply, and there's no way to guess what might happen next. The Locklear's transformation is compelling. You almost can't look away, no matter how much you want to...
