I originally figured on 4.5 stars, but thinking about it, this book makes me so happy, it needs to be 5. I ordered Shock Totem's limited edition hardcover because it was awesome. I hadn't heard of Adam Cesare but the VHS tape cover and box were too much for this horror geek to pass up. It is, withou...
At little more than 2 1/2 hours, Zero Lives Remaining is a fun, punchy listen chock full of B-movie horror thrills.Adam Cesare’s latest plays with the haunted house trope, placing a group of teenagers in an arcade where a ghost haunts the video game cabinets and everyone’s lives are in danger.

One of the most promising of the up and coming "new-wave" horror authors, Adam Cesare, again delivers what he does best with Zero Lives Remaining Namely, a gore-soaked throwback to the days of old.

Pretty typical gory monster fest. The story is about oversized crabs that invade NYC and the people sent to stop them. Overall I liked the book but there was some forced romance which felt very out of place in the book.
In a word: "Yikes!"This story/novella wastes no time getting started and is a vertical drop from the first 5 pages. Like someone else said, the front cover tells you all you need to know. As I was reading , I couldn't help but think that this story would make a great campfire story if you didn't ...
