Robert DeCoteau, <strong>Zombie Tales: Primrose Court, Apt. 502</strong> (Zombie Tales Press, 2011)A short set in the same world as DeCoteau's full-length <em>Don of the Living Dead</em>. I wasn't impressed much with the story; I like what DeCoteau was trying to do--this is basically a character sketch of one pissed-off teenager whose personal life goes to hell right at the time of the zombie uprising--but I'm not sure DeCoteau achieved the parallel he was after, ending up focusing a little too much on the peripheral zombie action in the second half of the story instead of keeping the focus on Tommy, our main character. Still, I finished this about a week ago and some of the scenes are still fresh in my head, which makes me think I should probably give the other Primrose Court short a try and see if I want to read the full-length, so it did its job. **
