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.

Kellie's Diary - Thomas Jenner and Angeline Perkins



In my humble opinion “Kellie's Diary” is an uncommon look at a very covered fictional (or non-fictional for some) topic of the Zombie Apocalypse or simply Zombies. The concept of a diary written in the view of a child is certainly different by my view but is it a saleable idea, obviously.

Kellie, the author of the diary pages is 9; this seems a bit far-fetched but all right. The pages read like a story, not necessarily a diary and detail the entry of zombies into Kellie’s school and her voyage through the school and back home. This zombie survival tale possesses the drama of survival and what’s next for Kellie and is quite the interesting little tale. This installment was short, and teaser or what some call a bait tale.

Overall, I am on the fence with this one. Certainly, a fresh angle, something new about the dead wander about – in this regard, very refreshing. On the other hand, I struggle with the believability factor of the protagonist – Kellie. Perhaps, I should just read and enjoy and not try an analyze. I do find myself doing that at the movies as well, sort of ruins things doesn't it?
