A quick, interesting read. Good take on "zombies" and very well written. Sad but good! I would love to read a longer version to feel a bit more connected to the characters for the end to have that big emotional impact. But still a good read.

The novella deals with terminal illness  in a very honest way, without making it into a festival of suffering. I don't know why this is labeled as horror- it's a love story, and a story about death, but it is not scary, just profoundly sad. But sad in a way that makes the reader better in the end.
