A review by scostner
Max Brooks' the Extinction Parade Volume 1 by Max Brooks

3.0

This could work as a companion to World War Z, telling the story from a vampire's point of view, or it could simply be a stand-alone series on its own merits. For those who have read Max Brooks, you will recognize his particular brand of social commentary underlying the story. Where the rapid infection rate of marginalized groups caused governments to see the outbreak as a third world problem in World War Z, here it is the vampires who are myopically unaware of the impact it will have on their existence. Believing the zombies are no threat because they don't attack vampires shows a clear lack of understanding in how food chains work. And that kind of shortsightedness leads very quickly to extinction.

Whether you are already a Brooks fan, or your interest is in the zombie sub-genre of horror, The Extinction Parade is excellent storytelling.

I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
