When is a zombie not a zombie? It's when Geron Kees gets his hands on it and twists it into something very unique and new. Jeremy and Richie are teenagers leading a group of youths facing an survival in a world that seems both dead and deadly. It is a tale of love, hope, family and survival. You will love the characters that bring adventure, fear, laughter and suspense to life in this story. All the genres listed above hold very true. I'm not a fan of zombie stories, but this story goes way beyond the stereotype to create a very unique and interesting monster. It is one of my favorite books. Read it and be amazed!
A very satisfying ending to an exciting story. I loved all the unexpected twists and wonderful characters. The way you incorporated Jack into the story was very skillfully done. It is a hallmark of your stories that they always leave me with hope. Thanks for this great story Geron!
I was just thinking before I read this that the zombie seemed to be acting like an early hunter gatherer except for the aggression and lack of social norms.
To misquote the bard. "How do I love thy stories? Let me count the ways. I love them to the depth and breadth and height of every twist and turn of the screw." And they all have many of those created when you stir your Weird Sisters' Pot.
OMG! Only six of us here and we're now on page two. I bet it will be up to 6 pages when I wake up in the morning.
I'm with Chris on this one. My only regret is that Max is really nice. Maybe MrsG can set him up with someone. Contrary to kbois, Mrs G has good tastes in men.
I can too. I can even hear them in my mind singing out of tune, "We will, we will rock you!" I'm sure Kyan is silently laughing about how true that is for him.
They are all home and safe. The news Mom is talking is good. After two years of silence, it might take a few days. Hopefully she will get back to normal. I bet she has a lot of things to say, and probably good stories too. The zombie is back, but strangely sedate. What's with that? It is a bit weird that he didn't even seem aggressive or threatening. I don't think it is because of the big boom or he is shy because he's naked.
One more twist to deal with. Max is a great piece of eye candy, a great uncle, gay, a fun sense of humor, single, and well to do! His interest in Perry is something that might shake Kyan up a bit. It is obvious that Max like Kyan, but since Kyan is 'straight' has now set his sights on Uncle Perry who according to Kyan is good looking, loyal, devoted, wholesome and loves kids. Stirring the pot again MrsG?
By saying this you got my random imagination going. I suddenly picture The Swiss Family Robinson.
Tension is building slowly and I expect to see the zombie again soon. The kids are working logically using what they know about this zombie's behaviours. I hope the dummy's are effective bait even if they are not moving. I wonder what twist you will create to mess up their plan. I hope the boys will think fast and still be able to kill the zombie.
BTW Did you check with Jer and Richie to get their approval of lending their name to Ivor's Unbeaten? I mean they probably won't be happy they were a source of someone's nightmare.
