The scripture warns that in “the last days” the love of the great body of believers will grow cold and maybe that's why people who aren’t people anymore began pounding on Paul’s front door. With his zombie movie and gaming experience, his wife, Sophia, and trusty friend, Dan, know they have an edge against extinction. Paul quickly gets them guns, a siphon-kit and a plan to head south, because if the walking stiffs don’t get them, the freezing Iowa temps will.

Overnight, Paul goes from the unemployment line to the front line in a battle against evil, where he finally finds his calling as a leader. However, his swelling confidence quickly propels them towards tragedy, putting his faith to the ultimate test while the fate of others hangs in the balance.

This book will bring ravenous zombies into your home without the use of strong language and graphic violence.

Amusing quote:
He paused, looking down at his bookts, What's a Rambo knife?

Ya know, from the movie.

His eyes narrowed. Movie? What movie? he asked, reminding Paul of just how young he really was.
- page 27, chapter 7

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): ZIPs
Gotta say it, ROAD TRIP - of sorts. I found this to be a thoughtful tale of zombocalypse survivors who travel from Iowa to the Gulf of Mexico to escape the cold snowy weather and... zombies.

Rating: 4

Old School, a traditional horror collection born of seven twisted minds, invites you back to a time when vampires and werewolves were monsters who made humans quiver in terror.

Fourteen short tales offered by:

David Dunwoody
Jackie Gamber
R. Scott McCoy
Natalie L. Sin
Horace James
Gregory L. Hall
and Louise Bohmer

All tied together by selected poems from Zombie Zak – Old School reminds one of terrors best not forgotten. Within these pages, evil children terrorize, witches gather the teeth of the young, cosmic blobs eat the world, while creepy crawlies ruin a man’s life and a headless ghost seeks revenge. Wander down this spooky path with poems and stories that revive our nightmares about golems, harpies, and other forgotten creatures.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): no sparkles
Deliciously scary collection of stories with poems interspersed to set the proper mood of old school horror. Each story creates a bit of shiver.
