Review: Zombie Youth: Book 2: Borrowed Time by H.E.Goodhue
October 17, 2014Zombie Youth: Borrowed Time is a masterful example of the way a work can defy target audience and genre: a true crossover for fans of horror, armageddon, and coming of age (with zombies). By intertwining several survival factions, each with a predictable agenda and hierarchy, Goodhue realistically emphasizes the strengths and shortcomings of several generations. Thus, […]

Review: Blood of My World by A.P. Fuchs
October 7, 2014I’m not the biggest fan of paranormal romance, especially with the release of books such as The Vampire Diaries and the Twilight series (which I do not consider horror). However I was intrigued by a YA novella trilogy by A.P. Fuchs who is perhaps best known for writing about zombies. Blood of My World consists of three novellas—Discovery of Death, Memories of Death, […]
Review: Vamplayers by Rusty Fischer
October 3, 2014Lily is a vampire sister, a special kind of vampire who ferrets out Vamplayers–that is the egomaniac monsters who turn whole high schools and leave towns with piles of corpses.
