For example, Brian Keene’s Zombies are actually corpses possessed by demons. Zombies have become such an entertainment staple, with a multitude of movie, books, comics and even a hit series, that there seems to be push with horror writers to give there zombies a twist.

Personally, I like this trend, this unorthodox path to publishing. As we are beginning to see more frequently, Allison Hewitt is Trapped got its start as an internet serial, whose success lead to a book deal. The first entry in my Zombie reviewing extravaganza is Allison Hewitt is Trapped: A Zombie Novel by Madeleine Roux. So, I have declared May to be Zombie Appreciation Month. Joe McKinney’s Dead City trilogy is being release the end of this month, and Mira Grant’s follow-up to her Hugo nominated Feed, titled Deadline is also on its way. With the Audible Frontiers association with Permuted press, 5 novels based on the undead were just released this week. I expect to be reviewing a lot of Zombie based audiobooks over the next few weeks. Quick Thoughts: A highly entertaining look at the search for safety and happiness in a brutal world, performed wonderfully by the narrator. Allison Hewitt is Trapped by Madeleine Roux
