Strychnine
What if the Zombie Apocalypse was man made, but not the way we think? It wasn't some virus that started with patient zero resulting in an accidental outbreak. It is true, it was a bio-weapon that when released failed to accomplish what scientists created it to do, and it had an unintended side effect.
And, what if werewolves really did exist, but they haven't been our enemy for years until one ruthless man bent on domination is turned?
Strychnine is the story of two brothers torn apart by an experiment forcing them to fight against one another. It is also the name of a metal band made up of another set of brothers and their girlfriends.
Life for Thorne, his girlfriend, Blaze; his brother, Seminole; and Seminole's girlfriend, Spaz, is about to be flipped on end as they find out zombies are real, werewolves have always been real, and certain werewolves are mankind's saviors and its enemies at the same time.
After being bitten by a werewolf fighting for mankind's survival, Thorne unwittingly creates his own small pack to continue the fight over the worst kind of terrorist, one with large fangs and claws.

This was the worst book I have read in a very long time. I enjoyed it, but only because it was so disgustingly horrid.
To start with, It did not line up. Tenses: When you start out in past tense, do not switch to future tense mid-sentence. This book was very inconsistent. Just for an example, it was full of sentences like:
"X looked at Y and suddenly Z happened. Two decades later..." Seriously?
This book was full of cliche's. Nearly every sentence, action, and idea came straight out of a cheesy B-rated action movie.
It had lots of potential, though. It was a good story, though totally unoriginal. It seemed to me that the author had a partially decent idea, spent an hour writing it, and published it without any polishing.
All in all, this book was disgusting. It was absolutely horrid on every level; I loved it. But in the same way I love a spoiled cheeseburger, if you know what I mean.

I loved this version of the story of werewolves. This is a nonstop tale of lycans, halflings, zombies and a heavy metal band called Strychnine. There are great battle scenes, with blood, gore and also some humour. If you love werewolves this is the book for you with a very different take on how they came into being.

It doesn't get much better than rocker werewolves! I loved this book. The story was exciting and the writing brilliant! From "killer" instruments to kick ass fighting. I hope he writes another one! Rock on!!!

Nothing says apocolyptic environment like lycanthropes, undead, and a metal band! Great read, grim yet fun, and guaranteed to leave you howling for more.
