T.S. Charles sure knows how to compress action...and his lead character Nathan. I'm not new to fantasy stories, but the Zombie thing is one I haven't gotten into. Vampirism was more my cup of blood. In a short space with rapid pace he has recently-divorced Nathan out for a night of drinking with two friends. The last bar they choose to enter brings bad memories to Nathan, so he goes for a walk; not a long one. He's attacked by a...person?...who bites his ear. Nathan runs. And this is just step one! The scene-painting is astounding, the actions pulse-pounding. The finale may or may not be predictable, but in the spirit of good writing, T.S. takes us where the story must. For those who know the term, I found the denoument especially delectable. You owe it to yourself to read "The Attack" during your breakfast coffee, not close to bedtime.
