EXCERPT
I took a deep breath and advanced, using the pack as a
shield. The first zombie came at me fast but careless, and bounced harmlessly
into the chasm. I took a second to smile before the next one attacked. He broke
free of the melee and headed straight for me, moving in a wild spasm.
I braced myself as his rotten body fell against the pack,
pushing me back slightly. His eyes were level with mine, blank and
expressionless, yet cold and hate filled. Immediately he bit into the fabric,
forcing his head forward. I twisted my arm hard and ripped the teeth from his
mouth causing him to release a horrible gurgling shriek, before I planted my
foot into his knee and sent him tumbling into the darkness.
We were close to Black now, a few feet away, I could see him
snarling and biting, huge gashes in his body and flaps of skin hanging loose
from his bones. Suddenly the pack pulled to the right, and I lost balance. I felt
Kaatje grab my shoulders as I looked down. The toothless corpse was hanging
from the stone trying to pull itself to safety, one arm grasping the free
strap. I stepped back, dragging him up. I pulled out my blade with my free
hand.
Something crashed into me hard and I fell backwards into the
abyss. I expected to fall forever as I felt gravity’s pull, but came instead to
a sudden painful stop, dangling in space, one arm still looped through the
pack.

MY REVIEW
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a 125 star book, 5 star for each story & poem, oh! and the illustrations, they are so beautiful!!
As my blog's name indicates, I'm a Romance/Horror Fan, so I was really excited when I saw this book up for review, I didn't hesitate and grabbed a copy and that was one truly wise decision!
Where should I start? It's impossible for me make a review, because each one of the stories and poems are unique!! What I can say is that's full of gore, emotions, good and bad decisions, primal instincts, tears, action, etc.
I'm going to recommend one story and one poem, because each one struck a chord on me.
The story: Don't Cry by Rob Shepherd
I love it because... it made me cry!!
The poem: A Zombie Dream by Mathias Jansson
Excellent written, really ingenious and weirdly funny.
The best thing is that this gem only costs 1.99!! don't hesitate, grab your copy!!! You are not going to regret it.
