Dead Willow

by Joe Sharp

The town of Willow Tree has a secret … that can almost be seen from space. The massive Weeping Willow towers over the landscape, its leafy tendrils an enormous canopy that shields the town and its residents from the outside world. It makes Willow Tree into a world all its own … and its residents into a family like no other. But, as high and as wide as the tree goes, the roots go even deeper, down into the soil of the 150 year old cemetery beneath. What it does down there is the real secret of Willow Tree. It is a secret worth dying for … but will dying be enough? From the sickly creative mind that brought you Viral House and The New Wizards! Welcome to a zombie horror that’s out of this world!

A failing willow tree is brought to life by something that falls from space, and the willow tree protects those that care for it, for a sacrifice.

Joe Sharpe has an astonishing imagination, how he thinks up the plots for his books are beyond me, but what I do know is that I am So very glad that he is able to. This is the second Joe Sharpe novel that I have read, the first being Viral House, and this book is just as good. I am definitely going to be reading his other offerings.

What makes this book so strong is the tightness of both the plot and the writing. It just carries you through the novel, and the sheer quality of the writing allowed me to see the book like a movie in my mind.

I can't recommend this book highly enough, a great 5 star read.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was rather different than what I had expected. It made it interesting to read. I would like to know what happens down the road. Will there be another?
