Another one finished for #scarathlon
A disease that alters your perception of reality. I enjoyed this novella and its unusual take on zombies. Don't expect the usual gore on this one. It's has more of a conversational tone.

My #BookSpin #DoubleSpin picks. Already got a start on tagged book (not quite what I expected, so far) and Bad Moon Rising. Enjoying both!

Very cool premise and I loved the narrators voice. But over all it was presented a little “ho-hum”😐
But a very neat twist on “Zombies”.
“Relationships aren‘t scientific, they‘re not mathematical. They‘re chaotic, abstract, irrational.”
“He wasn‘t what I was looking for, he was someone I found on the way. And sometimes that‘s enough. You find someone going the same direction as you are and it‘s all the connection you need when the world has turned as much as it had.”
This is not your normal Zombie novel. To be honest I like my Zombie novels to have a lot more flesh eating zombies in them! 🤣 But it was certainly different, what‘s true and what isn‘t? Everything you think you know, well you are not sure you know it! The infected have a viral disease that makes them believe that they are being attacked by zombies. So they end up killing their friends and family. I wish that the characters had been fleshed ⬇️
“‘Events happen in more than two dimensions,‘ he says. ‘You have to imagine how they look from different sides, otherwise you don‘t see them at all.‘”
“Maybe we‘ll all have to get used to the uncertainty. Maybe that‘s what frightens me. The way you can get used to anything if you‘ve got nothing better to gravitate toward.”
“When I say this is a love story, I mean this is a story about someone who believed in something impossible and beautiful and dangerous with such strength of character and devotion that they followed the thread of it all the way to the very end, no matter what the world threw at them.
“Whichever way you try to tell it, that sounds like a love story to me.”
Just when you think nothing fresh can be brought to the Zombie genre, along comes this book.
Interesting examination of what is reality and how we are affected by what we "believe" to be true.
While I didn't exactly love this novella, I did enjoy it's fresh take on a familiar genre.
I heard about this on the latest episode of Books in the Freezer and I‘m so glad I did. I just finished this and it has to go up on my personal pantheon of great zombie books. I don‘t want to say too much because I think it‘s best to go into this one blind. I think it‘d make a great bookclub pick. If you liked Alma Katsu‘s Wehr Wolf, you‘d love this one. A 🧟♀️🧟🧟♂️Pick!!!
Finished this yesterday and I enjoyed it! I liked it better when it was thinking about how perception is always individual, less so when it seems to be saying that the cure for a divisive political moment is centrism. It's an interesting take on horror (and sort of zombie) apocalypse, and as a novella it flies by.
Very interesting and very confusing. People become infected and start seeing the world differently. They believe everyone around them has turned into monsters and they must protect themselves. Meanwhile the uninfected don‘t understand why the infected are suddenly trying to kill them. Each side has their own version of truth. Makes you question the very nature of reality.
