Coming up on Fiction Nation...
 |
The Reapers are the Angels by (Joshua Gaylord writing as) Alden Bell. I absolutely loved the heroine of this book, a young woman born long after the zombie apocalypse. She's tough and funny without being cynical (I guess irony does not survive the onslaught of the undead) and her voice is pure American Gothic. The author name checks Buffy, Deadwood, Faulkner and George Romero as influences and I knew after the first page this book would be a scary, sad, thoughtful, beautiful joy to read.
