Twilight of the Dead
Travis Adkins
Twilight of the Dead takes five years after the initial outbreak of the zombie plague, and it is told through the view of a young woman named Courtney. Courtney is a sad person who is depressed at the loss of her father and the fact that her life has been ruined by the dead corpses that have now taken over the world, and this is what makes Courtney such an interesting character. Unlike the big, bad guy heros of the zombie genre, Courtney is the center point of Twilight of the Dead , and this helps make the novel different from any ordinary novel. The plot is interesting, the way he tells the story is unique, and the design of the book (which he did by himself!) is especially interesting and makes the interior of the book aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
The novel begins with Courtney reminiscing about her past life before the zombie plague, right after one of her fellow Black Berets, Leon, talks to her and says that she needs to come out of the shell that she is and be an actual missing. It then follows with a flashback of what happened with Courtney before and while the plague is happening, and how she is trained by a Black Beret operative to be what she truly is.
The novel gets even more interesting when a strange scientist called Dr. Dane appears at the fortress town of Eastpoint, where he claims that he has found a cure to the plague that has been threatening humanity for years. He tells Courtney and Eastpoint’s council that he spent several years working for a cure, and now that he has one, he wants the Black Berets to go retrieve it.
This is where the story kicks into high action, with zombies, great plot twists, and new things that have been cleverly introduced to the genre.
This second edition of Twilight of the Dead offers a bonus of three short stories targeting specific characters that help to build on to the world about what happened before the original storyline, and it is a great boost to the novel.
Twilight of the Dead is a novel that any zombie fan should pick up. Never again will you think of a zombie novel as, Over the river and through the woods. Adkins offers too much to the genre to make it seem like an ordinary zombie novel.

Plague of the Dead
Z.A Recht
Plague of the Dead takes another twist with the zombie genre, showing that the zombies can and cannot be dead at the same time. Z.A Recht, author of the new zombie novel Plague of the Dead brings a new twist to the genre.
Beginning with a strange–if not disturbing–email from a scientist in the army, it tells of the inevitable danger that the new and strange plague may bring. While the scientist tries to warn people about it, it doesn’t do any good, and that means that people are vulnerable. It hits our home of the United States when a medical examiner turns his back for just one moment.Africa is the center of the action, and if where the plague originated. Fires sprung up from every town, and the dead were attacking and devouring the living . . . And the ones that they killed also got back up to eat the flesh of the living men. The military tries their best to deal with it, but when they find that they can’t do anything other than separate Africa from the Israel area, they have to flee. This is where the military steps in to take action.
Recht brings many new things to the genre, especially the exciting way the military works. With scattered traces of emails and government conspiracies hidden in its depths, Plague of the Dead is a different, if not new way of the zombie genre. The main characters are real in the sense of the military, we learn how the military could operate if such an event were to happen, and we learn several different aspects of the military that most people don’t know. Recht shares the knowledge of weapons and military strategy in this book, and he does a very, very good job doing this.
Plague of the Dead brings us into a different view of the zombies, with the way that they can be alive at first, then die and come back to life as true zombies. Sprinters and Shamblers are they way Recht describes the zombies, and makes them even more terrifying. One bite infects, two bites doubles the rate, and from there, it goes downhill when the zombie plague hits Africa and spreads into the United States.
Plague of the Dead is another novel that must be picked up if you are a fan of horror and zombie fiction. It’s hard to put down, it’s exciting, and it leaves you wanting with more of this new way of zombies

The Two
Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc
You think it’s a chick-read? Do you really think that it’s a chick-read? Well, then you’re completely wrong. The Two is anything but a chick-read.
From the cover alone, Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc’s novel, The Two , could be perceived as a chick read. But, once you begin reading, you will learn that it is anything but a chick read. Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc is known as the Mistress of Macabre by her fans, and she has invented her own genre called Horror Sinsesteria, which is violent, but at the same time, beautifully erotic. She has won the 2005 Predators and Editors award for her novel A Man Of Two Worlds, and she started this novel out with self-publishing. Within two months, she has a name for herself, and The Two is a great contributing factor with that success. It was her first novel, and it was the novel that made her well known in the writing world. Called ‘The Next Anne Rice,’ Andrea will shock and impress you with the talent she has at telling a very horrific story.
The Two begins with a man named Presley, a best-selling novelist, becoming frustrated at the neighbors in his apartment building, and the fact that he has writer’s block doesn’t help either. He knows that he has the money to move, but he wasn’t really bound to anything. But it isn’t until he loses his patience and moves out of his apartment.
This is where he falls in love with a beautiful, medieval-styled gothic mansion, one of which the land owner has been trying to sell for a long time. Presley learns that the woman who had originally owned the house had been sent to a nursing home because she claimed her husband had been ’sucked up by the mirror.’
When Presley gets settled in and begins to explore the house, he, too, finds the mirror, and it sucks him into a world where he will have to solve a mystery that has been hiding in the dust for several hundred years.
The Two is the perfect read for any fan of horror, but it is for adults for the violence that it throws out at times. Even though there are a few graphic parts, it doesn’t diminish Andrea’s very talented way of storytelling. The Two is a definite read for any fan of horror. And trust me: If you like horror, this novel is definetely worth picking up. It’s something that you can’t put down, but at the same time, there are parts where you just want to put it down, back up, and say ‘Woah . . . That’s intense.’ If you don’t pick up Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc’s The Two , you are cheating yourself out of an excellent horror experience.
