Available: Multiformat digital
With a plethora of both zombie fiction and self-published author samplers popping up, it’s often hard to cut through the chaff to get to the good stuff. Dead Girl’s Blog is the good stuff; two emotionally satisfying zombie tales that don’t have to resort to the weary format of plucky survivors getting picked off one at a time. Burgess’ characters stand off the page, reaching out and giving an often-missing soul to zombie stories.
There are only two short stories here, “Dead Girl’s Blog” and “Under a Blanket of Blue”. But it’s a perfect short read for those looking for a distraction in a waiting room, before bed, or on a car or plane trip. Highly recommended for quality and tasty pricing.
