I, Zombie by Hugh Howey
3.0
I, Zombie flips the focus of the zombie genre and explores the existence of those unfortunates who didn’t get away. Manhattan is ground zero for the infectious outbreak and Howey gives us the first-person locked-in thoughts of a random selection of the shambling undead. His take is unique in that the victims of the affliction are still conscious and feel the pain of the injured and rotting flesh that they are trapped within and cannot control. The force that animates their bodies has a mind of its own driven by the smell of living humans and the unrelenting need to feed on it.
The result is a gallery of character portraits that examine the spectrum of human experience and reaction to existing in this state and the decisions or actions that brought them here. Some are anquished and tortured as expected while others take a more pragmatic view or are even happy to be released from oppressions of their living state.
I would recommend this book to Zombie aficionados to round out their genre experience.
