Take a gay club add a bunch of zombies and what do u get? This refreshing take on the zombie apocalypse myth. Gone are the stereotypical collection of survivors that we normally get in these stories. There's no ex-military muscle bound hero that saves the dag with the big guns. The characters here are just regular people, scared and clueless as to what's happening, relying on each other despite their desperate situation. It always makes the story better when u care about what happens to the survivors and that is sometimes forgotten in boeken of this type. Of course there's still the requisite amount of guts and gore with plenty of violence and the pace of the story never slackens as we hurtle towards the ending which happens to be both upbeat and upsetting at the same time.
This is an excellent little novella filled with characters u don't get to read about too often and certainly not ever as the heroes of the piece. There is also a slight commentary on the treatment and assessment of gay in society and the depiction of gays in fiction. This doesn't subtract from the novella at all, in fact it enriches it, giving u an extra dimension to consider.
I will definitely be getting meer stories from this author.

If u like horror short stories door new, interesting authors I recommend the Bizarro Starter Kit books. There are three in all; Blue,Orange and Purple and they are available at Amazon.com among other places. In the U.K u may find it hard to find these boeken at the bookshop(I did) so the web is your best bet and if u enjoy reading things that are strange, horrific and utterly unpredictable, the I would give these boeken a try. Also, u will be introduced to some truly excellent, although rather unknown authors, which is always a good thing. Thank you.
In this collection of short horror fiction you'll find a little of everything. This book is not really hardcore horror but there is a bit of blood flying around along with deadly paranoia on board a space shuttle, a dark cellar that may contain a yellow eyed monster with teeth and a uncertain afterlife for a cancer patient. The stories are all very well written and edited and I read this entire collection in one day. It was thoroughly entertaining and some of the stories give me a little shiver with some genuinely inventive and unique takes on horror.
There's bound to be something in here for any kind of horror fan, no matter your tastes. It was also nice to read some authors that I had never read before and it spurred me on to discover meer about them and their other works.
This is an ebook and relatively cheap for the quality of the story telling on show. I would recommend picking this up and if u do I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Although this book is somewhat fantastical, it's closeness to reality is all too noticeable and uncomfortable. Do we vraag where meat comes from,how it gets on our own table? Well don't be surprised if,after reading this brilliant,complex, well-written and engaging book, u cannot look at a karbonade, pork chop the same again.
