This horror book certainly raises questions. How can the author so successfully manage to tie in the initial threads into what boils down to a zombie novel?
Until then I was enjoying a very gruesome little horror book, and enjoying the fact that the settings were getting away from all the stereotypes of the genre, and engaging in a sensible way with a topical issue of note. The racism side of things is not just tacked on, either - it and the horror scenes and thriller they cause all gel together in a very good match. They just deserved to have a meaty ending to match the rest of the book, and not the damp squib they get.
I would still recommend this book to anyone with an interest in horror, as I am sure the shocks and gore will be appreciated, especially given their social setting. My thanks go to the publishers for sending the Bookbag a copy to review. We also have a review of [[The Revenge of Frankenstein by Shaun Hutson]].
