My heart is pounding, my eyes are wide, and the first
utterance I made after finishing this episode was, "Unbelievable!"
I am now a zombie convert. Prior to this amazing story, I
was the girl who would shy away from the realm of horror books and films. If
coerced into consuming these works, I merely caught glimpses of terror between
my shielding fingers. This story has changed me.
A tale of a post-apocalyptic future where the IU (infected
undead) have been first quarantined into submission and then enlisted into a
variety of servitude, Gameland follows a group of youthful albeit gifted rebels
with a penchant for all things technological. Jessica and her friends embark on
a final and ill-fated summer adventure into the forbidden zone of Long Island chockfull
of shocking surprises including a few encounters with zombies.
Tanpepper's writing is sharply succinct- thrusting the
reader into the fast paced thrilling scenes with amazing control over detail
and dialogue. Creating a new genre of episodic made for TV stories that leave
the reader gasping for more; Tanpepper had me sitting up and taking notice from
the first few lines. This is an author to follow! I cannot wait to read the upcoming
stories!
A rare 5 stars folks a commendable read for young adults, and that is a lot coming from me! J
Great review!
