Devil's Wake by Tananarive Due, Steven Barnes

5.0

Methinks Butler's Parables had an affair with Night of the Living Dead to give birth to this story. I really really really hope that they make this entire book into a movie or a series! The short film Danger Word was awesome; but this story is stellar! The last sentence gave me goosebumps. I kept hearing the authors say "If its a well written story; you can take a character through hell and back & the reader will follow you." {They actually said that at the 2010 Octavia Butler Conference at Spelman College} I do not even like zombies; but the imagery ALONE made me want to nose dive into the genre.

Innocence lost. Happenstance. Apocalypse. Tenacity. Awakening. Determination. Bad Luck. Good instincts. Purpose. Uncertainty. New Beginnings
