I was thinking either this book or This book is full of spiders. Or honestly thinking about rereading a King classic
I've been reading this book and I'm about 70% in. I like it, I'm surprised by the quality of the writing I don't know how much of it is Romero's and how much is Kraus' , but I like a lot of the writing. There's a couple of different characters living through the rise of the zombie apocalypse, and they have backgrounds that will speak to fans of the living dead movies. Some characters are in a TV station, others on a aircraft carrier, others are minorities in shitty trailer house park or suburbs. There's the usual americana with bluesman character, Catholic priest .. symbolism that I think wouldn't necessarily work on screen but works on the written page. I'm pretty pleased with this at the moment.
Strong "Dawn" media circus vibes, "Day"'s military structure crumbling vibes. It happens outside of the timeline of the Romero movies.
