Zombies in Seattle on the net
Some people fear public speaking. Other people are frightened by spiders. Me, I’m afraid of zombies. Seriously afraid, as in, yes, I have actually spent time contemplating the best way to handle a zombie attack. This fear means that I don’t watch zombie movies or read zombie books but it’s me against the masses when it comes to zombie-related entertainment options and as box office receipts prove, the masses love zombies.
Fine, whatever, go ahead and be a zombie lover if you like.
If you do like zombies, perhaps you might like to read Plague Zone, which is an online serial novel about zombies in Seattle by David Wellington, the author of Monster Island, Monster Nation, and the upcoming 13 Bullets. Wellington is posting the novel in chapters online for free reading on brokentype [site].
He’s only up to chapter 1 so far so you’ll be in on the ground floor if you start reading now. I read the first few paragraphs (I didn’t dare go further for fear of reading something likely to trigger my zombie-paranoia) and found the prose to be clear, descriptive and inviting.

I do that, too! But for the exact opposite reason, I love the zombies.
