Super enjoyable. I loved the homage to P. G. Wodehouse and the style is certainly fun to read. My only complaint is that it was too short - there needs to be more adventures of Booster & Reeves!
As soon as you start reading this, it's instantly recognisable as an homage to the Jeeves and Wooster characters of P. G. Wodehouse. Here, Brodie Booster is our foppish, half-witted hero/narrator while the inimitable Reeves is his valet and the resident genius of the duo but the main change from Wodehouse is that this is a horror story.
At only 85 pages long, it's a very short story and easily read but it gallops along with a comical gait so it keeps you entertained as it goes. With a horde of zombie films and books out there, the story itself, of the dead rising and trying to eat the living, is a bit clichéd but tying that to a pair like Booster and Reeves turns it into a very entertaining pastiche.
I picked this up from free from the the Amazon Kindle store so it's a good introduction to Mr. Blackford's work and I hope he does more of them. I might even investigate some of his other tales as well.
