Awsome, Amazing, Zombies, Religion, Guns
this is by far the most amazing book i have ever read and has become my fav.
its a twist on the zombie tradition its about the end of the world, old time religion, its a amazing.
i recommend this you will not be dissapointed, a group of people been hunted down by a deamon, people vanishing in2 thin air and 2 priest's argueing on the take of the situation, guns, blood chills and spills!!!
A Philosophers Zombie Book. :D
Wow, I think that this was a rare find. I was expecting a salacious gore fest with a basic plot. Hell no, I don't even think this was primarily designed to be a zombie book.
I think that for such an alternative culture subject the huge Question of Christianity - namely Catholiscism, and it's place in peoples beliefs, or lack of, today is a brave swing to take indeed.
This book pokes holes in peoples perception of what they think will happen to them after they die. It also confronts the fear of losing a family member only to have them return as a mindless creatu butre hell bent on inflicting horrific pain upon it's children.
I can't really explain it all without givnig the whole thing away. This is very good, there are a few bits that made me cringe, not the gore just a couple of bad name drops.
The ending is a bit hard to deal with, I hope he comes out with a follow up to tidy the ending. It could all be a clever metaphore for faith being blind and just having to accept that things are this way. That or he got bored of writing or was running tight on a deadline.
Anyway, if you read all that your probly interested in this book so have a go it's good fun. :)
