The following is an excerpt from a full review at the strangeamusements blog:Zombie Kong is a thrilling journey full of peril best experienced in one edge-of-your-seat gulp. In many ways, it's an original story built out of classic elements shaped into something that feels fresh. You've got the giant monster bits to satisfy one taste bud and a human psychopath for another flavor. You've got a dose of undead action, which is, of course, at a peak of interest in genre circles and beyond these days. And, somehow all of this leads the reader to an interesting ending revelation that leaves several questions in your mind. For a short horror novella, that's a lot to balance, but Daley manages to pull it off, proving himself to be a writer deserving of notice. When I decided to read Zombie Kong, I was expecting a cheesy tale about a giant zombie ape; what I actually got was much more than that, and that was a nice surprise.
