October 23, 2019If you cut your teeth on the glory of eighties horror, this is a book that you should check out. While store-bought nostalgia has become more of the norm anymore, this one feels quite different, coming from the creative mind of someone who has a clear love for that time and for the culture which came out of it. Reading this as well as his Planet of the Dead series gives me little glimpses into what it is I love about zombie movies in the first place. Do yourself a favor and dive in today.

Good story..3.5 stars

It's an okay zombie book.
Only issue with it (Which could be applied to Island of the Flesh Eaters too) is that is only one third of a story rather than a complete story.
Not gonna say it's a bad book, but you got some potential here that hasn't reached it yet. But otherwise, It's an allright Zombie B-Movie in book form and it works as a decent time waster.
Note to the Author: It's been five years, when the hell is Empire of the Flesh Eaters gonna come out?

Really good but
This little book has a lot packed in for such a short read its very fast paced the action is amazing and the gore is cringe worthy so for that this book gets four stars. One star taken away because the virus explanation is just down right lazy now and unimaginative and its ran its course it's time to stop raping 28 Days Later and go back to Romero and Fulci but that maybe to complicated for today's author's

Loved this book. It is actually 2nd to a series which I didn't know, I plan on reading the first one, but I love the 80s feel and I live zombies. It's a win, win for sure.

When there’s no more room in hell..
Awesome sequel in the vein of dawn of the dead and all those other zombie movies from the early eighties. A real tour de force, I can’t wait for the next chapter! Thomas Flowers offers here a nostalgic look back at the eighties set during the midst of a Zombie apocalypse in this cracking follow-up to Island of the flesh eaters.
One f the best zombie books I’ve read in a long time.
