The OG zombie story as we know it; sh*t hits the fan because gubment, that sh*t gets out and destroys the world—but of course, we got the mf'ers that are like, "You can't keep me down!" so naturally, our story is with them.
The first chapter is perfection and should be taught in all creative writing classes. I know many will disagree with me, but idgaf—fight me—the ending is also 🤌🏼 and had me all in my feelings, staring at a wall 😳.
When we think everything is as sh*tty as it's gonna get, here comes the gubment again to make sure we all experience the real definition of sh*tty. I'm sure this storyline will be rough for sensitive readers, but I respect Keene for not holding back and letting it be as raw as it is.
I don't want to spoil anything because I will bully everyone I come across into reading this book, but, a word of warning: Don't get attached to nobody 🙂↔️.
