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.
