Review: Attack of the Killer Clowns
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 12 5, 2013
What happens when three of the best writers in the genre get together to collaborate on a story?  Sometimes the effort ends in tears, but here we have a shockingly compelling tale that transcends the zombie genre.  In fact, forget zombies.  The Klowns are a different breed altogether, and the descriptions of their deeds are just too awful to even consider as they laughingly butcher they way across the country.  Usually when it comes to zombie books, the reader has to stop at some point and think, wait a minute, these guys aren't that dangerous.  How are they overwhelming the police and the Army?  Not here.  The virus may be spread by bodily fluid, but these deranged creatures are mobile, agile and hostile in a way that makes them individually terrifying, and they move in ever growing mobs that quickly outnumber the soldiers.The brave and battle weary troops of the 10th Mountain Division try their best to stem the tide in Boston, but the battle is already lost before it starts.  The authors do a great job of shorthanding the breakdown and jumping straight into the action as the reader is immediately dumped into a mess of laughing monsters and desperate troops trying to carry out nearly impossible missions.  The ending packs a ton of emotion and the story has barely begun.  I cannot wait for Book 2 to arrive.  If you are a fan of Craig Dilouie,  Stephen Knight, or Joe McKinney, you will love this one.
