Review of Detention of the Living Dead by Rusty FischerReviewed for Full Moon Bites Blog Tours Nov. 21 20125 StarsA surprisingly heartfelt and deep-digging story, "Detention of the Living Dead" is to your ordinary Zombie novel as, say, Literary Fiction would be to a comic book. No offense to comic books or Zombie fiction; but this one is quite something else. Original Zombie categories (Zombification might be the better term), characters who are revealed down to the bone (yes, literally, but here I meant metaphorically), adventure-packed plotting, non-stop action, and by golly, ROMANCE! So NOT what I expected in a Zombie horror story! But heartwarming nonetheless, leaving this reviewer glad to have read it and happy to have discovered this author.If you find yourself cringing at slasher movies, turn away or close your eyes as you read: yes, there is a LOT of gore (it's about ZOMBIES, for goodness sake!) but please don't: this one is special, and you don't want to miss out.I reviewed this novel for Full Moon Bites Blog Tours, which provided me with an e-book copy in return for my fair & impartial review.
