Review: Solid, but needs more work

This is part of an interconnected series of short stories (the other two areZombie Tales: Primrose Court Apt. 305andZombie Tales: Primrose Court Apt. 502).  They don't have to be read in any particular order, as they tell the events of the day from the perspective of three different people who live in the same apartment building.What is interesting about the stories is that the zombies appear relatively late in all three of them.  This particular story was my least favorite, probably because the amount of backstory required hindered the forward momentum of the story and the main character didn't feel fully authentic.  We are told that he is fearful of the outside world, but I never really felt it.I am pretty sure I read some earlier stories by this author that are now no longer available on Amazon.  If this is the case, he is developing quickly and I think he shows a lot of promise.  One issue that will need to be addressed is the number of typos in these stories -- it is simply unacceptable (example:  we are told a character had "chicken pocks").  With some careful editing, I would gladly pay for the author's work.  Truly character-driven zombie fiction is rare.
