Loved this crazy alt-Seattle-history steampunk zombie fest, starring a plucky/determined mother/son pair who must use all their wits to escape. Priest does some great world-building that literally immerses the reader (bring your extra filters, kids, the air isn't fit to breathe) and goes most authors one better by leaving much of the zombie horror offscreen. There's a fair bit of intent listening for a rotter's shuffle than there is gory description, making the story trip along much more like J-horror than a Saw-fest. My YALSA blogging buddy Ken Petrilli has declared it full of crossover appeal. Go tell us if you agree at the YALSA blog.
