Steampunk meets zombies.
Sounds kind of interesting right?

I am not a fan of zombies. They give me nightmares. If it weren't for a challenge I probably would never have picked up this book. The first part did give me the creeps. I was torn between not wanting to put the book down to forcing myself to put it down so I could sleep with out zombie nightmares.
