Bestselling Disaster & Apocalypse Author DJ Cooper
She lives in Biddeford, Maine, with a demon disguised as a cat! She loves to read and write post-apocalyptic and disaster fiction. It all started with the Dystopia series of books she released in late 2014, and she has been going strong since.
She also writes nonfiction prepper books and articles for her preparedness teams at Thrive Self-Reliance Initiative. That first title created a strong desire to learn more, leading her back to school, hoping to gain more perspective on the craft and the industry. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Science in Marketing. She spends her days now studying for her Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing with a concentration in teaching.
DJ’s favorite apocalyptic reads are The Road, Alas Babylon, One Second After, & the dystopian series Hunger Games. As an Apocalypse author, she hopes to find herself among these favorites for readers of all ages.
After that second story just NO. Ugh, that was awful…
Oh, boy, where do I start? Let’s start with the very first story, which I liked, and that is Project:Seize by Angela R. Watts. This was really good without too much descriptions of blood/gore/zombie-body-horror (is that a thing?), a compelling and thoughtful plot with characters that were struggling but choosing to fight on for a better tomorrow despite the world having fallen to pieces. A solid, good story I would give four stars by itself.
Unfortunately it’s NOT by itself.
So, so far so good, I start the next story, Undying Love by Ben Black, and right away the descriptions of blood/gore/zombie-body-horror (yeah, let’s just call it that, lol) skyrocketed to TOOOOO much TMI for no good reason. So I IMMEDIATELY started skimming and I’m so glad I did because to cut a long story short it ends with this woman killing the man who helped her by beating his head with a crowbar and then stabbing said crowbar into his skull. In detail. (at least from what I skimmed)
Oh, MY GOSH. Just…I see and hear about enough horrible things people do to each other on a daily basis, I don’t need this to be reinforced in my fiction.
If you can’t already guess I bailed right away feeling totally sick and still am as I type this out. I want stories of people who overcome and fight the odds, not fall into evil traps of the worst humanity has to offer. Also it had four F-bombs in it and one use of Jesus’ name in vain. I’m sorry, NO, if you allow that in your anthology I’m sorry I just can’t, nope, goodbye.
This has been rage deleted from my Kindle and aside from the first story I DO NOT recommend.

This is a greatly entertaining collection of short stories about one of my favorite subjects: zombies! The variety of zombie types and their situations are deeply satisfying to those who have a hunger for such ;-) I highly recommend it!
I read this book for the first story, and the first story was the only one I really enjoyed. Some of the others were entertaining, but none of them stuck with me. This was an overall fun read. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, but it kept me engaged.
This was very mixed. there were two stories, popping the cork, and gifts from the sea that were easy five stars. most of the others were pretty average, with a couple coming in at one or two stars. overall, I’m glad I read this.
