Ian Woodhead has once again shown himself to be a master of zombie mayhem with his latest work, Walking With Zombies, to provide a gritty – and suitably gory – follow up to his novel The Unwashed Dead.
The story isn’t a straightforward sequel, with events picking up where the previous work left off, rather the story runs parallel, but it takes the slaughter-fest into the wider city. Infection is spreading through Bradford, turning the unsuspecting residents into zombie hordes, and for the staff and clientele of the Stockholm Club, it all means they’re in for one Hell of a night.
Walking With Zombies is a novella, but it has everything you’d expect to find in a good zombie tale: gruesome death, gore, and a disparate group of people thrown together in a do-or-die effort to stay alive against the odds. And it’s all painted in living detail by an author who not only has an affectionate rapport with his characters and his subject matter, but who is also a talented storyteller.
