A review by kvltprincess
The Living Dead by George A. Romero, Daniel Kraus
5.0
I don't know what I expected going into this book, but it wasn't this! This book is poignant, with more peace and hope than I would have expected to show up anywhere in a zombie novel. We all know how the ZOMBIES apocalypse starts; The Living Dead explores how it ends, and how it fares ten, fifteen years down the line.
Perhaps the coolest parts are the chapters from the zombies' perspective. A sympathetic treatment that makes me not at all surprised that Kraus has worked before with Guillermo del Toro. And his work finishing this thing... Well, I have to say, I think Romero would be proud. Kraus did his zombies and his survivors good.
This might be my favorite horror book I've read yet this year. It's certainly the one that surprised me the most.
