The zombies of Madison County (review)

(Review by Pablo S. Barroca Roldàn)

The zombies of Madison County by Douglas E. Winter is an interesting short fiction story. It is about a writer who creates two characters Douglas Winter, a writer and lawyer, and Stacie, a zombie girl, who see each other again after some years but in different conditions. Even though, they have restrictions and only few time to be together, they try to enjoy as much as they can.

This story takes place at Madison county, Illinois and is described by the author as an inferno because of the misery, destruction of the buildings and cars of the city; after a great battle against the zombies. The way the author describes Madison County gives realism to the scenery and to the story also.

Love, passion, physical restriction and sexual desire are themes treated in this short fiction and of course, topics that yal are accustomed to watch at tv shows everytime. It is higly recommended.

Hi Pablo!!
I liked your review very much since it is short and clear. I agree with Angelica as regards the beginning. Perhaps, you could have written the plot of the story in a separate paragraph and not at the beginning.
Very good!!

Hi Pablo,
I found your review very interresting and well written. However, I've also seen a punctuation mistake in the first paragrah as the others did. Your review remains me a film I've seen some time ago. Congrats. Renée
