This is my favourite of the three Primrose Court Zombie Tales, I think. These three short stories are interconnected, yet each can stand alone. This is, I think, the strongest. It's the one I'll carry with me.Tommy is a strongly-written character, written in shades of grey, not black and white. This story takes him through a day when he loses everything. Both the things that matter to him and the things that don't.  The ambiguous ending is a chiller.Yes, there are some typos and misspellings. The strong characters and plot in this story (and the other Primrose Court stories) help overcome those weaknesses. With time, this writer is going to be -- in the best horror tradition -- a killer.Go ahead. Take a stroll down the Primrose path. (I couldn't help it the pun.)
