Dark bleatings my lovely goaties! Today I’m reviewing a zombie collection from Paul Kane, a writer I’m sure many of you know and love. I didn’t realise how long it had been since I last read a zombie book until I picked this one up… or how much I had been missing them. Despite the smell.
There were only two stories in this book that didn’t appeal to my personal tastes. Considering that themed collections tend to get a bit samey, especially when the theme is something like our undead friends here, I was very impressed with how unique each story was. Despite the central theme, there truly aren’t any two stories alike between these pages.
From a wink to Matheson’s I Am Legend, to long form poetry, to other worlds, and twists on familiar childhood tales, this collection explores a variety of subgenres, plots, and writing styles.
My favourite stories were We Have Become Mechanical, which opened the book, Dalton Quayle and the Teatime of the Evil Resident Living Dead, and Pay the Piper. The latter was by far my favourite, on account of how deliciously sinister it is.
In Zombies! you’ll find humour, rotting corpses, science fiction, and horror, amongst many other things. I’d recommend it to fans of zombies, of course! If you’d like to grab a copy, the link is below for you:
