Kurzbeschreibung

Zombies have devoured mankind. And the few survivors would be better off dead because a clan of vampires, bloodthirsty and vicious, have captured the remnants of humanity for livestock.

In an apartment building barricaded with wrecked cars, concrete rubble, and snarls of barbwire, the vampires breed lobotomized amputees. Ann, the secret blood slave of the maternity doctor, has evaded this fate, yet her sister Ellie has not. Though she longs to escape, Ann cannot abandon her sibling and unborn niece. But she may have to if she wants to survive.

The living dead have found a weak spot in the barricade and are quickly invading the building. Shade, the vampire monarch, defends her kingdom, while Frost, Shade's general, plans to migrate to an island where they can breed and hunt humans. In their path stands a legion of corpses, just now evolving into something far more lethal, something with tentacles---and that's just the beginning.

Metaphors and an overused vernacular make for a difficult read 21. März 2008
Von Kurt - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I'm on a zombie book kick right now and want to read what people rate as the best. DL Snell tried to be a literary genius by making each descriptive sentence into some metaphor or simile. I'm an educated person and I can grasp and understand these, but it does require one to think, thus making it a slower read.

Another complaint is that each chapter is about 3-4 pages long. It would seem that instead of trying to link each scene change with some words, he'd rather just end the chapter.

Complaints aside, it is a gruesome tale of vampirism and their quest for survival. I just wish the author would use common language instead of trying to come across as a pompous know-it-all. I was misguided by the rest of the reviews, thinking this would be a great and easy read. I was wrong, sadly.

50 pages is enough 15. September 2008
Von Kenny Waryn - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I tried. I really did.

I can't remember the last book I stopped reading before finishing it, but this one, I couldn't make past 50 pages. Actually, 48 pages. 8 Chapters.

I tried, but I just can't read it anymore.

First, I hate to give bad reviews, and will only do when a book or movie really deserves it. And this one does.

When I bought the book, I had high hopes. Zombies AND Vampires. What could be better? I love zombie fiction and have read a ton of zombie books over the past few years, some good, some great, some awesome, but this is the first stinker that I've read....or attempted to read.

My complaints are similiar to the other criticisms of this book. One, it's way too over descriptive, to the point I had to re-read a few things because I wasn't sure what the hell the author was talking about. Being descriptive is good, but being overly descriptive in every sentence of every paragraph on every page is not just annoying, but very distracting. Instead of adding to the story, it takes away, and makes it a hard read.

Second, instead of a horror story, the book comes off as a poor romance novel. There is very little in the way of action or zombies in the first 50 pages, but plenty of overly described sex and masturbation that adds zero to the story. It seems the only reason all the sex was in the book is it must've got the author all hot and bothered writing it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have the same effect on the reader.

And, 50 pages in, all I know that's going on is one vampire wants to go someplace else, and some woman kinda would like to escape, but doesn't want to leave her pregnant sister. Not much of a story to keep you hooked, but a whole lot of meaningless filler.

I probably won't try reading this book again, since I won't have that 'I wonder how it ended' question lingering, since there really wasn't much of a plot in the first 8 chapters.

Maybe the book gets better, and I'm missing out. Somehow I doubt it though.

New Sci Fi Reader Loves It. 22. September 2007
Von Joseph Calderon - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I am new to science fiction and I loved this book. I was hooked after the first few pages and couldn't put it down. I thought it was going to be like all the other Vampire stories, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. I hope to read more of D.L Snell's books in the future. Keep up the good work.
