Being a self aware sociopath, Jeffrey Wayne has always observed a world he’s never truly felt a part of. His entire life he has been forced to play the role of a human, always hiding the darkness inside of him from the rest of society. When humanity succumbs to flesh eating monsters, Jeffrey is content simply observing the fall of mankind. Then, a small dog shows up and forces its way into Jeffrey's life, turning his world upside down. The two begin an adventure through the heart of a dying world, and Jeffrey must face creatures even darker than the one that lurks inside his human veneer.
Funny ,funny book.. “His tail smacked me in the face as he prepped to leap off the couch, and just as he began his jump, a squeaky, high pitched dog fart blasted right into my face.”
One of the funniest books I have read in awhile, but you have to be a certain type of person to enjoy this book. None of my friends would like it...but I loved it!
This book was so funny! O kept waiting for my husband to look at me like I had lost my mind bcuz I kept cracking up. The story is really good. I highly recommended!
I never write reviews. That being said, I loved this book. It is funny, intense and kept me up reading all night. I'm hoping a 2nd book is coming soon. Love the interplay between Rex and Jeffrey.
I've read a ton of horror books, the thing that's been big for the last 10+ years has been Zombie books. I've read everything from Keene to "Day by Day Armeggedon." Some zombie books are great, some are boring, some are cliche, some are unique.
This book is a bit different. There are zombies yes... but they really aren't the focus of the tale being told. The super short synopsis is "The Zombie Apocalypse from the point of view of your friendly neighborhood sociopath who is going through a midlife crisis due to... a dog." The zombies though interesting, take second seat to being in the head of a sociopath trying to make his way through a new world where human emotions he's always been able to manipulate and control in others are suddenly shifted as everyone goes into survival mode. Then suddenly there is a dog... something more human than the humans - something that personifies humanity, society, love, understanding and wields it's magical canine power over all it encounters.
The book is a quick read. It's fun, funny, rather light for something you would find in the horror section and clearly worth the read. I'm not sure if there is a sequel but if there is - I'll read it for sure, I'm interested in seeing where the author goes with this story over the long term. There has been a lot of setup, however I didn't feel let down by where the story ended. If you are a fan of unusual horror/comedy then grab this and give it a whirl.
This book pulled me right into the story. I'm completely in love with the dog and his antics. I have different feels for each of the characters. They all come together in a way that makes me want more. I can’t wait for the next book.
