Containment by Eric Red

sydnapped's review against another edition

4.0

Though quite redolent of Alien, this zombie story set in space was a fast, but enjoyable read, especially, if you love space horror fiction.

There is definitely a special kind of horror in connection with being millions of miles away from Earth, or from any help at all, while being confined to a space ship floating out in the empty vast regions of space. After their cryogenic containers are breached as a result of some mysterious glitch, a dozen crew members aboard the Explorer are released from their hypersleep early -- but not all are themselves.

My summary -

PROS: Creepy and exciting story with good illustrations composing an eerie atmosphere and lots of tension to the end, would make a great survival horror flick! Eric Red has great screenwriter experience, someone should let him run with this!! There are so few space horror niche stories that focus on trying to survive a zombie outbreak in space, so if you love the cool concept of zombies in space, you'll enjoy this!

CONS: Ended too soon! Wish this could have been expanded on, it could have benefited from more plot development.

WHAT I LIKED BEST: How can you beat zombies in space?!

Brace yourself --you're one of the uninfected crew members and that stark realisation has hit you that every waking minute of the remainder of your life will be left with no place to go, and alone with your undead crew mates.

A fantastically gory horror set in space - the graphics were dark and creepy, and I enjoyed the storyline, great for any horror fan!
