Been a bit busy lately with other zombie related things, in addition to fix’s and updates on the site I have currently been reading The Book of More Flesh, so I can review it later on this site. I don’t want to leave anyone hanging though so I thought of something to post.
You know you’ve read too many zombie books when you start forgetting them…. I read Plague Zone about a year ago. I just remembered when looking through StumbleUpon for sites tagged zombie books. Plague Zone is another online serialized novel by David Wellington, and you can read it here.
This story was much different than the stories in the Monster series. The zombies were your standard slow lumbering stupid gonna eat you type. Just how I like them
. It was hard to stop reading this story, as there were many parts packed with suspense. It doesn’t take long for events to start unfolding the first zombie experience is pretty early in the story.
The story goes as most zombie stories do. A plague begins, and crawls its way through the United States. However this one isn’t covering someone looking for a cure, or the person who will bring an end to all the humans left. The story focuses on one man, who wants to permanently kill one zombie. Being a husband and a father it was pretty easy for me to relate, it was also very hard for me to think of what I would do and think if I were put in a similar situation. Overall the story was good. It wasn’t as good as the Monster Island trilogy but its still definitely worth a read. I really was not satisfied with the end, it almost felt like things needed to be wrapped up pretty fast, as if the number 60 had to be the last chapter.
The main thing that makes it hard to judge harshly is the fact its free for anyone to read. Again you can check the story out here.
Rating 3/5
