Boone and Walker, the last survivors of the Floating Dragons motorcycle gang, set out on a cross-country odyssey through the zombie apocalypse. Their trek begins in Buffalo and heads west through Indiana, where they catch a movie in an abandoned movie theater crawling with zombies that are also watching Death Machine starring Bruce Willis; Kansas, site of their imprisonment by racist right-wing extremists; Hollywood, home of undead celebrities haunting their stars on the Walk of Fame; and concluding in Texas for a last stand at the Alamo. Along the way, they drive fast, take out ghouls, and encounter both the best and the worst remainders of the human race.
VERDICT Lamberson's (Personal Demons) latest is both bleak and beautiful, a brain-splattering zombie thriller that is at its core a paean to the power of friendship, even in a dead world. This novella may be brief, but it has real bite, along with taut zombie action, scathing social commentary, and a suitably nihilistic ending. Zombie fans are in for one easy ride through the apocalypse. [Print Is Dead is Creeping Hemlock's zombie-themed imprint.
