A review by maritza_reads
Where the Dead Go to Die by Mark Allan Gunnells, Aaron Dries

dark emotional sad tense slow-paced

5.0

Wowwww I hadn’t heard anyone talking about this book and I am so glad I picked it up. This is a meta horror with strong fmc and other female side characters. I love when male authors make the women strong, rather than a “damsel in distress.”

This book explores how people treat the sick, community biases for transmissible diseases, betrayal, extremist and hatred, conformity, and most of all family. Fuck I loved this book so much. 

Yes we are reading about existing with zombies 10 years after the fact, but this book goes into so much more in under 230 pages.
