I‘m not a fan of #Zombie films or novels, but this was an interesting take on the genre, where a fungal infection puts people into a zombie-like state, with the exception of some children, who are sort of “high functioning” zombies.

“New York City in life was much like New York City in death. It was still hard to get a cab, for example.”
Who else but Whitehead could write a tongue-in-cheek zombie pandemic novel set in NYC!?!

pickI love how Jonathan Maberry builds complex worlds in his stories that cross over into other series, a la Stephen King. This series pulls in characters from his Rot and Ruin series, as well as his Joe Ledger books. It‘s also clearly the prequel to the Rot and Ruin series, providing the backstory for the genesis of the virus. It‘s unique and science-based, which I like. An action-packed, quasi-plausible zombie apocalypse! What‘s not to like? 🧟♀️
pickActual doctor walks reader through the great unknown fictional apocalyptic event: Zombies. Wow! So science is explained on the level of potential infections (of actual body parts!). With concurrent UN documentation, it felt more authentic than your straight up ‘zombie!‘ Because it had science. A+ (my biology grade in Zombiology if taken in high school). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was recently recommended to me but it might be too scary for me 🫣😅

bailedThis SEEMS like it should be a story right up my alley - zombies, a groundhog‘s day scenario, and a mystery at its heart - but I just couldn‘t get through it! It‘s supposed to be short but I‘ve been trying to read it for weeks now and I‘m only at 35% 😭. It just doesn‘t seem to go anywhere. I‘ve read and enjoyed this author before, so I‘m just going to chalk it up to wrong book at the wrong time.
