I, Zombie by Hugh Howey
4.0
This was a very difficult book to finish - not because it was poorly written but because of the unremitting despair and futility of the characters and their stories. I tagged it "unique mechanic'because the POV is from the zombie side (expect for a rare case or two). For me, it was amazing how much it changed the feel and weight of the story.
The book contains several major parts, each focusing on a specific zombie or group of zombies and how they arrived at their present state. It's this backstory that caused the horror and despair for me and is a fantastic way to tell the story of a zombie outbreak in New York City.
Highly recommended for Howey/zombie fans but NOT for the easily squeamish or those who like happy endings.
