RRS Roundup: Zombie Love

This week on Read it! Review it! Share it! I’m pulling a couple of unique “zombie” apocalypse books off the shelf. One is the gold standard for said apocalypse, the other (dare I say it) a romance! First, the kissy/kissy…run!

Sundered (A Zombie-ish Apocalypse, Book 1)

Sundered coverShannon Mayer takes a risk by combining an apocalyptical story with that of a protagonist longing to become pregnant and raise a family with her husband and love of her life. But two things she doesn’t gamble with at all: 1.) she’s a solid storyteller 2.) she’s an accomplished and talented writer.

In all honesty, I just don’t understand the whole romance thing in books. I’m not sure why. I loved movies like Sleepless in Seattle, et. all. Yet this book has a driving pace and thrilling plot, just enough to help me sort of blah, blah, blah past the romance. (Some of you might do the reverse!)

When a new miracle drug gets fast-tracked to market almost 90% of the global population takes the “one-time” shot before the horrible truth surfaces. Well, you can probably guess what’s coming next. Mayer pulls it off in a highly-entertaining manner. If you love either romance or apocalypse, you’ll enjoy this book. If you like both, what are you waiting for? Read it! Review it! Share it!

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

World War Z coverMax Brooks is landmark author within the genre. World War Z is a must read for apocalyptic literature. I call it literature because that’s what it is. This book is not to be confused with the pulpy dime novels or zombie comics (not that they can’t be great as well). This is a zombie classic in the making.

Each chapter is a recorded account of first-hand survivors of World War Z, gathered and published by a narrator charged by a United Nations sort of global agency with recording the bare facts for generations to come. But bare facts isn’t enough to capture the horrifying reality of what man’s hubris did to the planet, so the narrator endeavors to publish this more personal novel outside of his official mission.

Spooky and prophetic, this is a collection of gripping human stories drenched in zombie madness. (*Warning: this non-indie ebook costs $12! Ouch!) Read it! Review it! Share it!
