Nights of the Living Dead di Jonathan Maberry
An absolutely brilliant ghoul anthology with outstanding narrators ❤️🧟♀️📖
A much, much better book than the cover implies, but those attracted by the cover (and legacy) alone will not be disappointed. Compelling reading, insightful social commentary, plenty of gore, and an ending which - all things considered - is inescapable if frustrating after epic-length 650 pages. Recommended on a number of levels - genre to philosophy.
I enjoyed this one, it did not deviate from the movie much at all (too bad poor Barbara's all too brief revenge attack wasn't present in the movie), but its descriptions of the ghouls were much nastier than in the film and you get more from the inside the heads of the characters. There was also more with the posse on the move and the sheriff who is more of an actual character here appearing in the latter third of the story. The first half of the book was very thrilling (a little more than in the movie and gorier), which I enjoyed. The only thing I really did not like here was that there was a strange semi-philosophical ramble as intro before the story gets started in chapter one which was utterly unnecessary and, in my opinion, a major misstep by the author. Likewise, the preface by George A. Romero was, unfortunately, horribly boring. However, I would recommend this one to those who just want a quick, to-the-point, easy-to-read, zombie romp whether they have or have not seen the film (and/or its 1990 remake). Just skip the preface and that weird little bit at the very beginning of the first chapter.… (altro)
I really enjoyed this tome. It’s epic in every sense of the word. The writing is vivid, detailed, and beautiful. The story is multilayered, multifaceted, and intoxicating. The characters (major and minor) are interesting, believable, and wonderfully dynamic. The philosophies behind the zombie plague may wax poetic at times, but the ideas themselves are diverse and intriguing. And the zombies themselves...just wow. So many interesting moments and ideas I’ve never really seen before in a zombie story
I can certainly understand the qualms others have with the book, but for me those all wash away when I’m reading it. I was captivated and eagerly eating every word. It’s the world-altering apocalyptic vision of World War Z mixed with the gorgeous writing and character-building of All the Light We Cannot See. You can really tell the love and work author @kraus_author put into it. It’s 4.5/5 ⭐️ from me!!… (altro)
