A group of survivors are stuck on a
roof while zombies roam below. Their only hope is to make it to a
supposedly safe town called Deliverance. I have noticed that it has
become common in zombie stories to center the plot around the
interactions between the survivors instead of the zombie killing
action. Typically it is the living that you need to worry more about
than the dead. The walking dead are predictable. But your fellow
survivors, those are the ones that are unpredictable and at times
even more dangerous than the zombies trying to eat you. Nothing like
a zombie apocalypse to turn everyone homicidal and psychotic. Also,
many zombie stories center around a safe place that the survivors
hear about and feel that all will be well for them if they can make
it there, in this case Deliverance.
The mythical mecca of a safe place often times turns out not to be
the hopeful utopia that is described.
These are the kind of plot points that are done many many times in
zombie stories. The characters in this story are an odd bunch. I
didn't find them very sympathetic at all. For a character driven
story to be really good, I feel you need your story to center around
some really good characters that the reader cares about. This story
fell a little short of that mark for me. 3 stars.
