It takes a lot to get my attention in the zombie genre nowadays. This novella certainly grabbed my attention and I'm so glad it lived up to my expectations. The story of a man living with HIV in the middle of the zombie apocalypse, Quenton's search for the medication that keeps him alive definitely rachets up the stakes and the tension in the book. It's a great story, well-told, with a couple of chilling and different additions to the usual zombie mythos. Strong 5 stars
