Something you may not know about me: I love a good zombie movie. I realize that the slow-moving zombies are kind of silly, but there's something about the idea of regular people that you know and love becoming your greatest enemies that I find both chilling and sad. David Moody has a new book, Hater, which is a highly addictive, modern-day "zombie" tale. While not the traditional brain-eating monsters you might be used to, the "zombies" in this tale find themselves filled with a sudden fear of those around them, and the need to kill or be killed. Moody does an excellent job of building tension, and showing how easily the main characters can shrug off the growing violence. This is one of those books that plunged me directly into the action, and creeped me out more than once. The plot goes in an unexpected direction about 2/3 of the way through, and I believe I've heard that a sequel is already written.Wednesday, July 29, 2009

This is on my list of books to read - which is lengthy because I kept adding books while trying to finish World Without End. I generally don't enjoy stories about time travel but this one looks different from others.
