About Sinister Tidings

Here you will find a collage of likes and dislikes from RTS’ Spyder Collins. The primary focus is to bring fun and indie flashes of art and not so mainstream artists. There is nothing fancy, revealing, political or otherwise world shaping. Just things, introductions, reminiscing and fun in the world of literature, art and music, to which I hope you enjoy and find some pleasure in.

The Boy Who Cried Zombie (Zombie A.C.R.E.S.) - Joshua Cook



This is a collection of there short stories by Joshua Cook that more than teased then told complete tales in my estimation but overall were entertaining, tight and well-written tales. If the Z scene is yours then you will enjoy these read otherwise you may find yourself flat and bored. Much like vampi tales you either you love them or you hate them.

Each tale had its own little tie into the A.C.R.E.S (Animated Corpse Reintegration Experimental Subdivision – cleaver, maybe) but what I found most peculiar was the ‘From the A.C.R.E.S’ which felt like filler to make the book longer – not needed, the stories stand on their own.

The Interview – Zombies and the pharmaceutical companies, shame on them. Tough love follows Gee as she discovers her family and zombies but is able to save her sister. Lastly, the books title story – is a quaint little tale of nerd and girl. These are just that, zombie tales. Nothing creative here but written in entertaining language with nice descriptive tone.

Give it a page turn or two and then go explore the world of Zombie A.C.R.E.S. I think you’ll enjoy your stay.
