BLOG: Maberry's Dead of Night Shambling Zombie Blog tour

So anyone who knows me, knows that author Jonathan Maberry is one of my favorites. he puts out a book and i salivate over it and rearrange my reading list to make it magically at the top.

With this in mind, I am glad to announce that I am participating in his "Shambling Zombie blog tour" [see Maberry's 02/07/12 post]. He has agreed to answer a few questions by email, which will be posted here on Saturday 02/25/12 for your viewing pleasure.

In the mean time, check out the link above for other tour participants.
I found a couple sites were far more entertaining than others:

Examples -
Hell Notes - on Dead of Night
Review on Horror World
Q/A at Rex Robot

----

I feel a little bad.. It looks like about a third of the folks on his tour just dropped the ball entirely.. you hit up their sites and.... nothing....

Whats up with that folks?

Exchange (Dale Cozort)

Review: Exchange, Dale R. Cozort Dale Cozort’s “Exchange” was really very enjoyable. Set to be publicly available for sale in early July 2010, I openly suggest this to sci-fi and alternate history fans. Do not get it in your head that it is either of these genre though… It is more fringe on both counts. Background on the Exchange: Exchange is set in modern standard time. It is neither history nor future. For unknown reasons, large tracts of land are transported to an alternate dimension version of Earth. In this alternate dimension, humans never made it through the evolutionary bottle neck. Evolution in general is completely unhinged. Giant bears, sabre tooths, and green monkeys rule the land. In an ever increasing number of global events, humanity is able to predict an Exchange only three hours before they occur. They know that an event can last for between one and two weeks, but cannot predict the? reversal. As a result, they mobilize huge groups of personnel and equipment in the tim...

Plague Town (Dana Fredsti)

EDIT 05/23/12:  It has come to my attention that I failed to note this book was well written. I would like to be clear that the author is descriptive and has no trouble putting sentences together. It was only my opinion of the the plot content that I had trouble with as outlined below, and as stated, each person should make their own decision. ~~ I hate giving bad reviews but it happens. My tolerance levels are pretty high for trash fiction. When I begin reading a book, I work hard to ensure instances when I am unable to finish it are as rare as possible. I reserve the right to stop and remove myself from a bad novel, but keep this right minimally acted upon. This novel is part of the fairly exclusive club called “Books I couldn’t reasonably spend more time on” also referred to as “I can never get those minutes of my life back”.. I made it eighty-three pages and just had to stop. It could get better later but I will never know. Dana Fredsti’s novel Plague Town is just ano...

His Robot Wife (Wesley Allison)

His Robot Wife, disappointing… His Robot Wife had the capability of being a decent story. It has some good components and given some external editing and feedback, it seems like it could have really gone someplace. Instead, readers are left with a barely evolved rendition of the first book. I held off on a review of this for a month, thinking my thoughts were a bit harsh. After a month, I still felt the same way, so my apologies to the author, but here is my unfiltered perspective. – Last year, I read the first novella in this series, His Robot Girlfriend. It was enjoyable and didn’t take much effort to go through. In fact, I enjoyed it enough that barring some inconsistencies and a far too gentle plot arc, I recommended it to other readers. I STILL recommend it to readers. In ‘Girlfriend’, there is some foreshadowing that leads you to think major shit-storms are on their way. After a very disappointing 2-3 page climax, you are left with a book that primarily describes what food the ro...
