First of all, though I am a quasi-professional book reviewer, I DID NOT receive a promotional copy of Yesterday’s Gone: Season One in exchange for this review ;)On October 15th, the world wakes up to discover a whole lot of people have gone missing. The rest of the series deals with the fallout of this, a mid-apocalyptic (if you will) story in the style of Walking Dead or other television serials, particularly those that appear on a particular cable movie channel that shall not be named. Yesterday’s Gone is that slow, creeping horror that becomes a part of you, moves into your bones, and makes you wish that you hadn’t waited to read a novel about what happens when the world ends when your husband is out of town and you are snowed in with a toddler (as this reviewer stupidly did). It starts to be too easy to imagine… things.Moving on, as a book reviewer I see all kinds of books, of various quality, on a regular basis. Indie and self-published authors need to take a hint from Sean and Dave, putting out clean prose that reads like an actual novel, not a manuscript that wants to be one when it grows up. This is a great series and a great pair of writers. I love the positive energy they put into the self-publishing market (yes, even Dave!) and their dedication to producing quality work.To would-be readers of Wright and Platt, Read, Review, Repeat.(If I wasn’t a broke writer farmer mom and disgruntled postal employee I’d do more of the above ;) Saving my pin money.)
