All you Zombie fans, perhaps you need to take note of The
Revivers. So, the cover art is up my alley for stuff I like. Immediate
attraction and curiosity but we all know that the cover doesn’t make the story.
Here we have a cover that rolls with the story, interesting, fun and inviting.
Zombie one is much like zombie 2, 3 and 4 million (story
that is). Let’s face it, Zombies are zombies, what makes a zombie stand apart
form his hungry neighbor is the story, the twist or something unique. The
Revivers delivers on a bit of each. Not saying this is the best Zombie based
tale you will read, just that it is something worth a look.
Atmosphere is brooding and the characterization is well
drawn. Debbie is believable and likable which is an important trait for a
protagonist. We, as readers, care about her and her fate, so we read. The story
is not told but read to you, which is another important tool. I found it fun
and just the right length.
For the reader – dig it.
For the writer – check the character build up and the
plotting.
