Although I prefer Blacktop Wasteland and Razorblade Tears to All the Sinners Bleed, I still enjoy living in the pages of a S.A. Cosby novel. 3.5 stars

“You want to sit here in your little fantasy, your little suburban womb. With your laptop, in your little clubhouse, rubbing oil on your guns and congratulating yourself on how brave and strong you turned out to be in the stupid zombie war fantasies that play in your head. You're not a man. You're a boy. All of you. You're little boys because you choose to stay little boys. You don't become a man until you wake up one day and realize that today the world needs you to be a man. Josh, so help me, if you don't step up, and become a man right now, people will die. Tonight. Not tomorrow.”
― David Wong, This Book Is Full of Spiders
