Full disclosure — I hate Zombie novels and films. But I could not put this down! This is Mary Shelley for the new millennium. It is full of heart, philosophy and grand prose. I may have found a new favourite author. I hope all of his novels get a kickstart special edition. These are works to read and reread. I know I’ll find more inspired insights with every read.

Calling a fans of the zombie genre. Do yourself a favor and read How I Started the Apocalypse by Brian Pinkerton. A real page turner of a good read. I couldn’t put down!!! A good mix of zombie horror and civil class political satire. This is the fifth book of Brian Pinkerton’s that I’ve read. Enjoyed every single one of them.

Absolutely loved this take on the zombie genre. I love all things zombies, and it was such a nice change to have it from the POV of the zombie. If you like zombies, action, and amazing storytelling, I'd highly recommend
