The monsters are zombies. The island is Manhattan, which is kind of like a giant roach motel: the zombies check in, but they don't check out...that is, unless they are shot through the brain, decapitated, or otherwise have brain functions terminated.

It was an interesting sort of zombie book. It makes sense that the third world would actually be better equipped to handle a virus that turns people into zombies. It was surprisingly...I'm not sure highbrow is the right word, but it was more than just blood and guts and there was some real thought p...
