“Perishables”

Michael G. Williams

Y’know, I’m really not sure why I’m surprised that I’m just feeling unsettled at the end of this book. It features not one but two distinct zombie apocalypses, and both “zombie” and “apocalypse” are, independently, genres that I don’t enjoy. I quite liked the second protagonist, and the first one was… interesting, if less likable, certainly a more fleshed-out character than I’d expect to see in a book this short, but it doesn’t really balance out my usual response to zombie things of “kill it with nuclear fire.”
