Book Review: Four Great Tales
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the fourth installment in Permuted Press' franchise of zombie thrillers THE UNDEAD. This time around, Permuted has collected four of their best writers and given them a little more room to stretch out the scares in a novella format. And they make excellent use of the extra pages. My two favorites in this anthology were D.L. Snell's "Mortal Gods" and David Dunwoody's "Lost Souls." Fans of Snell's first novel, Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines, will enjoy the wildly unique zombies in "Mortal Gods," which may very have the best opening of any story I have read in the past few years. And if you somehow managed to miss David Dunwoody's stories in the first three volumes of The Undead, "Lost Souls" is a great chance to see what he is capable of writing. Read this one, then check out his opening story in "History is Dead," his unique and genuinely disturbing take on a familiar fairy tale in Read by Dawn II, and his first published story, "Grinning Samuel," and you'll find yourself with a new favorite author. I've read most of his published works now and he hasn't missed yet.
The other two stories were also very good. John Sunseri has already proven himself to be an excellent short story writer, and now, with "Million Dollar Money Shot," shows he can thrill us at longer lengths, too. I don't know if he's ever gone to Aruba, but his fast-paced tale does a great job of generating a sense of place. Sunseri's story is followed by Ryan C. Thomas' tale "Enemy Unseen." Nice voodoo elements in this one, which sets it apart from the other three tales. Also, I think, we may see this one as a full blown novel someday. There's enough to this one to justify some added length.
Overall, a top-notch anthology from four outstanding authors. Definitely worth the investment.
Summary of The Undead: Headshot Quartet (Four Zombie Novellas)
Join authors D.L. Snell, John Sunseri, Ryan C. Thomas, and David Dunwoody as they fire four more rounds into the growing horde of living dead. * MILLION-DOLLAR MONEY SHOT: The dead are rising in Aruba, and Vince has just made off with a couple million in mob money. As if mob hit men and rotting corpses weren't bad enough, the big trouble is the creatures in the water-the ones who only come onto shore at night... * MORTAL GODS: A man with the ability to call objects into existence awakens in a zombie-swarmed alley with no memory of his past. Aided by a duo of heroes-one incredibly strong, the other psychic-he digs to uncover his identity and the source of his gift in a nightmarish landscape infested with mysterious creatures. * LOST SOULS: Three art students on a working vacation at an isolated New England cottage make a terrible discovery. The rustic setting seems to be perfect inspiration, but their lives are quickly consumed by the ghastly legacy of what lives beneath the nearby cemetery. * ENEMY UNSEEN: It's not the sight of the walking dead that scares CIA agent Rhonda White. It's the fact that someone is controlling them-someone whose new bio-weapon is up for bid on the black market. And if Rhonda doesn't stop it, the world will never be the same.Anthologies Books
