'Dead Stop (Tomes of the Dead)' – Mark Clapham (Abaddon Books)
I f you've read this blog for a while (or if you started reading yesterday, either way...), you'll already know that I love zombie movies. Good, bad or that vague area in between, I'll watch them all. What's slightly less well known, but just as true, is that I love my zombie fiction as well. The only difference is that any zombie books that I read have to hit the mark every single time. I've got no idea why I'll let films get away with all sorts but come down really hard on books that don't make the grade. That's just the way it goes round here, but anyway... I've been looking for zombie books to read and remembered that (way back in the day, when I was a lot more in touch with what was happening with genre fiction) Abaddon Books had a nice little line in zombie fiction, namely the 'Tomes of the Dead'. A quick stop at Amazon reunited me with some old favourites, which I'll get to another time, but also pointed me at 'Dead Stop',...
