Posted in Horror Literature on March 16th, 2010 by Fatally*YoursReview by Scott Lefebvre
It’s a book about zombies.
Which is always a good sign because whatever flaws there might be in a book if it’s got zombies in it, then that’s like a “+1” modifier.
It’s also about family and modern communication and living life after the inevitable outbreak.
When I started reading this book I was getting [...]
Book Review: The Unit: A Novel by Terry DeHart
Posted in Horror Literature on March 11th, 2010 by Fatally*YoursReview by Scott Lefebvre
“In a post-nuclear world, family is everything.”
I received this book, submitted for review through a friend.
I received three books at the same time and decided to go for this one first, since I’m a fan of post-apocalyptic films and fiction.
It’s a story about a family, headed by an ex-military father, trying to [...]

Book Review: And Falling, Fly by Skyler White
Posted in Horror Literature on March 9th, 2010 by Fatally*YoursWritten by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier
And Falling, Fly is a beautifully poetic work by author Skyler White. I first became acquainted with Skyler through Women in Horror Month and her intriguing interview made me want to check out her novel.
And let me say, as much as I was impressed by her interview I was doubly [...]

Right on the heels of the delightful Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (review) comes its prequel, Dawn of the Dreadfuls. Dawn of the Dreadfuls is a completely original work (it’s not based on an Austen classic like the original was) with a different author than P & P & Z. [...]
Book Review: Queen Victoria – Demon Hunter by A.E. Moorat
Posted in Horror Literature on February 23rd, 2010 by Fatally*YoursReview by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier
I started reading Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter right after seeing Young Victoria (what can I say, I’m a sucker for period dramas!) and was delighted to find that this book parallel the film in many ways. Well, at least in historical accuracy regarding the Queen’s ascension to the throne, members [...]

Even if you don’t think you’ve ever heard of Joe R. Lansdale, I bet you have. Have you seen Bubba Ho-Tep? Or perhaps watched the Masters of Horror episode Incident On and Off a Mountain Road? Well, both of those were adapted (pretty faithfully, I might add) from Lansdale stories. The witty, [...]

Dead America is nitty-gritty look at the stitched-up underbelly of America after there’s no more room in hell and the dead are forced to walk to earth. Except these zombies don’t like to eat brains and aren’t just shambling hordes of rotting flesh. These undead want equal rights and to be treated [...]
