Review: Not just another horror-humor zombie tale. A breathless, fun romp!

Two young friends, Henry and Sam, take a job for $100,000 from a Vegas mob owner of the Sharks Casino to travel into the Las Vegas desert. The desert is overrun by zombies and they need to bring a female zombie back for a warped, kinky porn shoot. Told from the first person in a rapid-fire first person narrative with heaping spoonfuls of humor, this fun zombie mission reminded me of Jeff Strand'sThe Sinister Mr. Corpse(L&Z; is not quite as funny or as solid, however). If I didn't know better, I'd think this was Strand's nom de plume. So, those reading who like Strand, you'll probably like Love & Zombies.Bonus points for good character building going on here, particularly between Henry and his friend Sam, but also the mountain girl, Becca. The writing style, almost in the vein of a detective novel, fits the swift pace and mood of the tale.A skilled balance between humor and horror runs throughout and easily keeps the reader fully engaged. An entertaining ride and quite enjoyable save for the ending which seemed a wee bit overstated and sentimental, but hey, I still got a kick out of reading and consider this to be one of the better novellas that DarkFuse has published to date. A happily recommended 4-star read. 1,719 Kindle locations.
