Characters: 10/20 (1/2 star)- Some characters were described well, but we didn't really see their different personalities or descriptions that much just because it was so short.
Plot: 10/20 (1/2 star)- It's like we took a small section out of a bigger book and decided to make it it's own book. Considering how small this book is, I feel like they could have combined a couple of the books so we get more of a story in each one.
Setting: 12/20 (1/2 star)- The bayou was very well described, but the other places didn't have much detail for me to picture them.
Writing: 16/20 (3/4 star)- I wasn't expecting the writing to creep me out like it did (especially about Waldo). It was very creepy and seemed very dark for a kids book.
Enjoyment: 14/20 (3/4 star)- I give the book credit for being more than I expected. It really freaked me out while I was reading it.

This is the first book in a new series. The link goes to the first book in the series only. Amazon will direct you to the remainder. This series is a new twist on the zombie tale and has a very Gothic feel. The dead are coming back! Derek Stone, his father, and brother are in a terrible train wreck exactly where another train wrecked many years before. At first he believes his brother Ronny to be dead, then Ronny's body returns inhabited by the soul of Virgil Black who was killed in the original accident. The books are not really stand alones, each leaves too many unanswered questions that you hope will be forthcoming in the next of the series; hence the entire series being listed under one entry.
