Oh, and then, of course,
there are the zombies…"
Here are some sample reviews:
"It was a hoot.
Proper Romero shuffling zombies, conforming to all the delicious
stereotypes... amusing, a little surprising,
a little philosophical and very entertaining" - Adele Waring,
Unbound
"Hook uses the solipsistic vibe of slipstream brilliantly to make unlikely behaviour smell of the truth. The story is completely coherent. It clicks together like a beautifully designed machine, and gives a non-military but fully rational explanation for the appearance of a plague of mindless animated corpses obsessed with eating human flesh. The co-incidences of fiction become, in this book, part of the story itself. Hook is so perceptive about the slipstream form – its self-awareness, self-obsession, its honest projection of inadequacies and desires -- that the book is almost a critique of its own genre" - Mark Harding, Vector
"A convincing picture of a society that is both collapsing internally and at the same time going about business as usual, which those who see the current vogue for apocalyptic fiction as a commentary on modern times may find especially telling...the ride was a hell of a lot of fun while it lasted" - Pete Tennant, Black Static
"Enjoyed the existential
zombie novel immensely. It was very zombie and
very existential" - Geoffrey Maloney
