Komrad Joy Killer, "Return Man" sounds really interesting and I'll definitely be checking it out. Wish it was able for download as I don't enjoy reading on my computer. Would be nice to put it on my nook. Hopefully when it's finalized it'll be available that way. Thanks for the link!

Finished "Kings of the Dead" by Tony Faville last night. It's a good quick read, written in journal format. The author seemed very knowledgeable about firearms and I'm assuming is a former member of the U.S. military. I enjoyed the book quite a lot. I'll be looking forward to more of his work.

Read "Werewolf Smackdown" by Mario Acevedo before that. It's the 5th book in the series about a vampire detective. If you're a fan of the series, it's pretty much what you'd expect at this point. Entertaining but no new ground is really covered aside from the introduction of werewolves into the mix.

Finished "The Dead" last night. While it has a lot of religious discussion throughout, I really enjoyed it. These aren't traditional zombies (Romero-type) but are still out to get the living. Highly recommend this one.

Reading Mario Acevedo's "Werewolf Smackdown" next. It's the latest in his vampire detective series. I've enjoyed the humor in the others so am looking forward to this one too.

I just finished History Is Dead: A Zombie Anthology. The stories just travel through time from there. From Vikings, Jack the Ripper, the great Plague, the Chicago fire, and so many more creative twists and turns, you just don't have a chance to get bored by this book!

I should finish "The Dead" in the next few days and will post about it again. If the ending isn't satisfying then I'll let you know. Brian Keene and J.L. Bourne wrote nice blurbs on the front and back covers though so I'm guessing it's going to wrap up nicely. Stay tuned. :-)

Recently read "Season of Rot" and "How the West Went to Hell" both by Eric S. Brown ... enjoyed the stories but not the writing. Lots of misspellings and weird grammar. I don't mean to bash him because I really enjoyed some of the stories.

Now reading "The Dead" by Mark E. Rogers ... wow! That book is very well written and the illustrations, all done by the author, are beautifully rendered. I'm jealous that he's able to handle both the writing and art with such ability. I'm about a third of the way through it and it's been difficult to put it down ... but I couldn't stay awake any longer last night ... and I have to get some work done today.

Have a great day, everyone!

I have an advance reader copy of State of Decay but it's not made it into my reading rotation yet. I did 2 pieces of art for his website to help promote the book. I believe that's book one of three in the series.

Finished Breathers. I enjoyed it but it's a different kind of zombie story too (more of a social commentary than your typical zombie book). Reading Season of Rot now. Got through the first 2 stories yesterday.
