The Prince of Nox (review)

Kathe Koja

(Review by Angélica Santi)

“His name was Death; the yang to birth's yin and he had gone through it heedless as a tramp, stunned by plain sensation when he should have been most aware.”

In this edgy short story, American author Kathe Koja deals with the intense emotional rollercoaster of a super clever zombie using a third person to give a detailed account of his doings and feelings, from his initial transformation to his final moments.

This ingenious device gets the avid reader stuck to the text, as eerie sensations collide in his mind, while Koja’s meticulous writing style provide a wide variety of vocabulary and language.

A must-have for those enthusiasts of this genre.
