The She de Terry Grimwood
Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing .A free copy from LTER in exchange for an honest review.
A collection of horror-adjacent short fiction from Terry Grimwood. As with many anthologies, it's a mixed bag; I thought the WWII stories the strongest. The other stories were less memorable.
As the WWII stories were first and seemed thematically linked, I initially thought that would be the anthology's premise, but sadly the other stories didn't follow on. I would have liked to see more in that line.
Recommended for the WWII stories.

By the time I received the book, I had forgotten it was an anthology. It took me 80 pages to realize I would never find cohesion between chapters lol
As with many anthologies, some stories work better than others. I would find myself deep in the trenches with a character or falling in love only to have their story end. Or I would skip entire chapters because the voice didn't speak to me.
I'll admit, anthologies are not normally my interest. However, the author does beautifully craft many pieces and I would happily read a novel from them.… (més)

Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing .A writer I was unfamiliar with. This is a collection of mostly dark fantasy and horror/SF stories which was surprisingly enjoyable. Not for the squeamish, but well written. Only a couple of clunkers which is better than average for a collection. Recommended for readers of horror and dark fantasy.
Review copy
Deadside Revolution is one of those books that is conceptually strong but gets lost in the execution.
The dead are coming back to life, but not as zombies per se. These dead still have their faculties, even if they are rotting on the outside. In addition to the dead, there are half-dead, and some people who are still considered living.
This was not simply a smoking, post apocalyptic ruin, this was an inversion of normality. Whatever was alive was now dead, and whatever had been dead was alive, and living - a grotesque parody of 21st Century life.
Regrettably, I found much of the action in this book to be repetitive, with one battle scene pretty much the same as the next. That's unfortunate because there is a story hidden in the miasma of Deadside Revolution.
Robert Lewis is a reluctant hero who must get his daughter, who's mother was one of the half-dead when she was born and has no soul, to a location where the fallen angel, Azazel, can claim her body. This may be the only way to return things to the way they once were.
Although, fast-paced and entertaining at times, I can't easily recommend this book, especially with its less than satisfying ending. I do give the author credit, though for trying to do something different in the zombie sub-genre.
Deadside Revolution is available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book formats from Horrific Tales Publishing. If you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited you can read it at no additional charge and if you are an Amazon Prime member you can read it for FREE through the Kindle Owners Lending Library.… (més)
