Good story

I read this and would of liked it to be longer but enjoyed reading it just the same I will be looking for more of this author my thanks to the author for the pleasure of reading this wee story.

A super short snippet is a more accurate description, like a chapter pulled from the middle of a story. I'd like to know the whole story...and it's zombies too, I love zombie stories. Can you write all the other chapters and get back to me, please?!

An okay read

"Buried" is set 60 years after the zombie apocalypse. But I see a broad lesson... where times past are romanticized into "the good old days". I like this broad meaning even if it's not what SH Livernois intended. Read this quick short story, "Buried" and see what you think. Well done!

Too short

The story went by to fast. Very short . A grandfather shows where the undead where buried and tell her about the fight he had with them and the people he was close to that died...

I wish there was more

It was a good intro to a story, but I wish there was more to it; more story, more depth to the characters, more explanation. It just left me feeling very unsatisfied.

What???
I totally missed the end!! All of a sudden, there where no more pages....???
I agree with most people here, it was well written, but way too short! If you're gonna read it, make sure you don't blink cause you might miss it!
I still recomend you give it a try.

Unique

This is a short unique and creative zombie tale. We read and watch a lot of the events taking place during zombie apocalypse, but this is a treat in that it is a haunting tale of the events long after.

To short

Should have been longer. It was good though. Needs more words in the book I wouldnt consider it a book its more of a story.

Review of Buried...

Well, what I read was good, there just wasn't enough of it to get a feel of it. I liked it enough that I would read the continuing saga....

It could have been good. If it wasn't so short & confusing. It didn't make sense & I barely understand any of what I just read. A waste of space in my kindle library.

Far too short to get any kind of handle on the characters
