Book Description

27 April 2012 Plague
Ashley was just trying to get through a tough day when the world turned upside down. 

A terrifying virus appears, quickly becoming a pandemic that leaves its victims, not dead, but far worse. Attacked by zombies, Ashley discovers that she is a 'Wild-Card' -- immune to the virus -- and she is recruited to fight back and try to control the outbreak. 

It's Buffy meets the Walking Dead in a rapid-fire zombie adventure!

Product Description

Review

"Sexy, weird, creepy, over-the-top zombie goodness. Required reading for the deranged." --onathan Maberry, New York Times Times bestselling author of Patient Zero and Marvel Zombies Return

"A diverting, entertaining zombie siege novel complete with all the delicious, bone-crunching, blood-gushing awesomeness a zombie lover could ever want." --Book Smugglers

"A fun read, for old zombie pros and newbies alike." --The Dead Centre

"If you love zombies, strong, sarcastic heroines with heart, and fight scenes that will knock your socks off, you'll devour Plague Town!" --My Bookish Ways

"There is plenty of action and, yes, even some romance in Plague Town... Pick up a copy if you are a fan of Buffy or The Walking Dead. You won't be disappointed!" --Evil Dead News

"An instantly gratifying, blazing fast read and that speaks to its cinematic, fast paced approach to storytelling." --ravenousmonster.com

"Fast-paced and slick read." --SciFi Movie Hype

"Dana Fredsti s Plague Town is a fast-paced read which will satiate any zombiephile s appetite. It has been described as Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets zombies, which is definitely accurate, although does not do nearly enough service to the book s skillful delivery of action, humor, gore and romance. This zombie lover can t wait for its sequel, Plague Nation." --Starpulse

"More action than season two of The Walking Dead." --Horror Talk

"If you like your zombies slow and your banter witty, I think you'll enjoy Plague Town!" --Blogcritics

"The overall story is seeping with snarky humor and pop culture references out the wazoo. In short, Dana Fredsti is my kind of woman. I mean, any story that has a quote from Big Trouble In Little China at the top of the prologue totally gets my vote. It's funny, scary, gory, sexy and goes a mile a minute." --Culture Brats

"An excellent read." --Bad Haven

"Take it from an unapologetic zombie-lover: Fredsti's enthusiasm for the genre is truly infectious. As satisfying as a great B-movie, Plague Town hits all the bases, comes up with cool new twists and isn't too proud to poke fun at itself. You can practically hear the author chuckling between the lines." --Linda Marotta, Fangoria magazine

"If you like your zombies slow and your banter witty, I think you'll enjoy Plague Town!" --Blogcritics

"The overall story is seeping with snarky humor and pop culture references out the wazoo. In short, Dana Fredsti is my kind of woman. I mean, any story that has a quote from Big Trouble In Little China at the top of the prologue totally gets my vote. It's funny, scary, gory, sexy and goes a mile a minute." --Culture Brats

"An excellent read." --Bad Haven

"I can t wait to get my hands on the sequel!" --Shivers of Horror

"If you like your zombies slow and your banter witty, I think you'll enjoy Plague Town!" --Blogcritics

4.0 out of 5 stars Zombies all the way 7 May 2012
By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I love an author who takes a chance and take the zombie world to a different level and this title by Dana not only does that but brings a brand new kick ass heroine to the mix. The prose is slick, the character interesting and multifaceted and when added to the authors writing style, generates a tale that moves at a solid pace alongside giving the reader what they way.

Add to the mix, a solid overall arc, decent supporting cast and a whole new outlook on how a zombie outbreak is handled which will leave the reader in no doubt about what to expect from the pages within. Finally throw into this a complex love story as well ravaging alongside the fight for survival and all in it's a tale that I couldn't put down.

By Lili
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Reading the first two pages, about a harassed housewife looking after her son and husband who are ill with flu, gave me no inkling of what was to come. But by page 4, oh my! I realised it was not at all what it seemed.

The unusual aspect of how the story alternates between the flesh-eating ghouls and Ashley, the sparky heroine and her team led me on chapter by chapter.

I'd never previously read this type of book but I was hooked, it was violent, disgusting, exciting, funny, and sad, there's a little romance, loads of action and zombies, zombies everywhere. I was captivated to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read - Too Expensive 21 Oct 2012
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book by mistake as £5.24 for a 368 page book is more than my policy of 1p per page.

However if I had stuck with my policy I would have missed out on a great story.

* Easy to read style
* Interesting characters
* Coherent plot, set at a good pace with some interesting new ideas.

Stayed up reading till 3am
