Piercing Undead is a short novella from blossoming horror author, T.L.Decay that offers an alternative view of the Zombie apocalypse. An accident in a Lab, not properly cleaned up, leads to a deadly infection running riot throughout America. Suddenly the recently dead have begun coming back to life, hideously mutated with newly formed claws instead of fingers with which to better rip and tear the flesh of their victims....
A couple on a romantic getaway, camping in the mountains, miss most of the pandemic. Emerging back into civilization, they find a world dramatically changed from the one they left behind. Fleeing from a Gas station where they are greeted by horrific sights, the pair end up at a Race Track where two other survivors are holed up...and before long, all four head out in search of some kind of sanctuary and salvation....
This was a better than average little tale that I really enjoyed but which I couldn't help feeling lacked a little depth. I DID really enjoy this, I just found myself always wanting a little bit more. I thought the book needed more back story to the characters and the events that occur throughout, needed more details about how everything all began and that the whole story was just lacking....something. That said, it was a very good and engrossing read...
One character, Kara, reminded me a lot of Hannah from Cat Dahman's Z Is For Zombie series but for me, I just felt that some of the elements of her personality that make her so similar were never quite fully explored or explained. The plot though is a sound one and the concepts and questions it raises interesting ones.
It is obvious that this author has a lot of potential and it will be interesting to watch how their writing matures and grows in the future. I would certainly read more by this author and you can't say fairer than that!
Like I say, this was a good little tale- it just left me wanting more!!!
