Where the Dead Go to Die by Aaron Dries, Mark Allan Gunnells
5.0
"There was nothing like death to make you want to cling to what little you had left."
Where the Dead Go to Die is not your average post-apocalyptic zombie book. Not in the slightest. This story goes a step up and humanizes the infected, placing them in hospice care before their transition. This book explores acceptance, understanding, love, death, grief, and loss. It explores humanity at its core and how divisive we can all be, if we did not already know that. But we get divisive over some of the silliest things. And fear is a root cause of a lot of that divisive and ignorance.
I read this one in two sittings and could barely put it down that first time. Each page just flowed so easily and both Dries and Gunnells to an excellent job of collaborating and creating a story that is so unique and compelling. Who would have ever guessed that I could be moved by a "zombie story?" But this one is a gem and I highly recommend it!
4.5 stars - rounded up for Goodreads!
