Review
This came to me as so many indy books end up in my shelf - word of mouth. Before reading it, I have to admit that I was skeptical. I had no idea how erotic a zombie story could be - and now I get it! I truly enjoyed this. After reading it and thinking about the premise a bit I get the connection. There is a craving and a hunger. I'm not certain if the author meant for it to be allegorical, but it kind of was. Maybe I just read too much into what was supposed to be a straight forward story, but for me there was far more depth than I would think a zombie story would ever have.
I recommend this to two groups. People who love zombie stories and people who are fairly certain zombies aren't their thing. I'm not certain I will start seeking out zombie stories, but I will look for the next Hunter S. Jones book. Supporting independent writers is so important. This is a new writer worthy of backing.
