annihilatrix's review against another edition
dark
slow-paced

- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
1.0
Sometimes I think that delving into the mind of a shitty person (in this case, fictionalized Jeffrey Dahmer if he lived in Michigan) is a white author excuse for being able to print racist slurs. I felt the same way about We Need to Talk About Kevin, though that was better for me in the exploration of maternal alienation. Zombie was gratuitous and just not good; I was extremely glad it was a short read.
