Als Maddy Grant aus dem zweiundvierzigsten Stock in den sicheren Tod mitten im lärmenden Verkehr der Ninth Avenue stürzte, konnte sie nur noch eins denken : Du blöde Kuh. Titel: Gefangen in Harmony Autor: Walter Greatshell Buchart : TB Seitenzahl : 368 Verlag: Bastei Lübbe Bestellcode: 978-3404...
This is what happens when you are half way through your novel and you resort to hallucinogenics to finish it. What starts out as a pretty good creepy secret society - cult novel gets washed ashore by handing out too much mythos and too little plot. I don't particularly care if Greatshell took his id...
This book was…strange, there really is no other word for it. I have postponed writing this review for a few days to find a better word to describe it but I can’t find one. Parts of this story had me clutching my ereader in a death grip with fear for the characters. Parts of this story just left m...
Some weak choices dampen the latter half. Cherie Priest... yes, she did write a zombie that included zombies. Doesn't really qualify her to wrote for this anthology, does it?
I am only about a quarter through but I feel compelled to respond to the many Goodreads reviewers who say this isn't a zombie novel. It's a zombie novel.They urghh and arghh like any zombie just a little faster. Just because you place a X instead of a Z doesn't make it different. You can put replace...
One of my favorite (non-Goodreads) reviewers is a guy called Nathan Rabin, who writes for the AV Club, the critical wing of the Onion. He started a project a few years back where he reviewed a movie that had flopped, every week, and the reviews are collected in a book called My Year of Flops.I loved...
I will admit to skimming and skipping over a couple of the stories here. Overall I liked a lot of them (I'd originally gotten it just to read Reluctance from Cherie Priest).The first 2 stories were wholly depressing (and in zombie anthologies, that is usually the case). There were a couple of storie...
It seems my relationship with zombie novels is destined to be a bit strained. (Incidentally, I have this issue fairly often -- I write genres that I don't actually get on with that well in terms of reading.) Dos and Don'ts - Writing a Zombie Apocalypse Novel:DON'T Make Your Contagion Based on Gender...
A very strong anthology of zombie stories. Recommended.
Well, I gave this book the old 100 page try and gave up then. I have way too many books vying for my attention to force myself to finish a book that is boring me witless.Xombies started out well with a young girl named Lulu waking up one day to discover the world has gone mad and it seems that all w...
