At the start of the apocalypse, a small resort town on the coast of Rhode Island fortified itself to withstand the millions of flesh-eating zombies conquering the world. With its high walls and self-contained power plant, Eastpointe was a safe haven for the lucky few who managed to arrive.

Trained specifically to outmaneuver the undead, Black Berets performed scavenging missions in outlying towns in order to stock Eastpointe with materials vital for long-term survival. But the town leaders took the Black Berets for granted, on a whim sending them out into the cannibalistic wilderness. Most did not survive.

Now the most cunning, most brutal, most efficient Black Beret will return to Eastpointe after narrowly surviving the doomed mission and unleash his anger upon the town in one bloody night of retribution.

After twilight, when the morning comes and the sun rises, will anyone be left alive?

“After Twilight may be the first docudrama zombie novel ever. It’s grim, unnerving and compelling. Adkins has a knack for raw storytelling that shocks and entertains. Great stuff!”
–Jonathan Maberry, Multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of ZOMBIE CSU and PATIENT ZERO

“The best Z-Novel of 2008!”
–Thanatos, Hacker’s Source Magazine

“After Twilight: Walking with the Dead is a highly enjoyable, fast-paced and exciting z-novel that’ll have you drooling for more!”

I am going to kick off the reviews section with a review of Monster Island by David Wellington one of my favorite zombie novels.  I read this story years ago while at work. Its the first of a trilogy by David Wellington.

The story starts off with Dekalb floating into Manhattan one month after New York has fallen to the zombie hordes. Why would anyone travel to New York during a zombie epidemic you ask? Well currently Delkab lives with his daughter Sarah in Somalia. He needs to get medication for AIDS for the warlords who run Somalia in order to earn his place in their society.

There’s many things that set this book apart from other zombie books in the genre. One very interesting thing is the way some zombies are able to hold on to their true consciousness. If you have oxygen flowing to your brain as you are “dying” you will return fully aware, theres more to it than that but I wont spoil the story.  Also why is the main character currently living in Somalia? Well think about it, there are a lot of weapons, people are trained through everyday life on how to live in poor conditions with danger looming. This is also another thing I liked about the story. Something I dont think most people would think, in most stories the epidemic seems to start in Africa. These are some of the things which make this book so interesting.

There’s really not anything I can think of to say bad about it. If you like zombie novels you NEED to read this one, of course then you will need to read the other two. Originally you could read this for free on the site (chapters were released every Mon, Wed, and Fri), but now you can also buy the print copy which I recommend in order to support free serialized novels.

Rating: 5/5
