I've reviewed several short stories by various authors of Untreed Reads Publishing and My goodness! Untreed Reads Publishing has been putting out some winners! The latest masterpiece is Mr. Elkins and the Zombies of Elbert County by Thom Adorney. This is not your typical zombie tale nor is it horror in the classical sense. The author instead focuses on the horror of facing the realization that a loved one has joined the ranks of the undead. That in itself is what makes zombies so utterly terrifying to me. The thought of being eaten alive is horrifying enough without having to deal with the thought of loved ones shuffling about in decomposing bodies. *shudderMr. Adorney takes this thought and runs with it in this touching and humorous story featuring a cast of characters that will stay with you long after the story ends. From the calm and sensible Mr. Bell to the trigger happy Dwight, the author presents a tale centered around the reactions of the townspeople to the zombies rather than the zombies themselves. And the ending? Simply Perfect.
