Overview

It's been more than a decade since the dead rose from their graves and began feasting on the living. Thankfully, Professor Jonathan Greenway and the woman he loves were given the protection offered by the U.S. Army at Fort Sagamore when things went to hell. But with supplies running low, the soldiers are starting to grow dangerously resentful toward the civilians in their midst, especially the intellectuals. If Jon hopes to make any kind of future for himself and the love of his life, he must do the one thing he dreads: put down the books and pick up a rifle. He must also leave the safety of the fort and venture out into the land where the zombies run free, and death by devourment is a constant danger. Church of the Last Lamb is at once a throwback to classic zombie horror works like Dawn of the Dead and more contemporary postapocalyptic fare, like 28 Days Later. And yet, despite wearing its influences on its sleeve, it blazes its own trail, and offers novel horrors that will surprise even the most jaded of gore hounds. ""It's a good old-fashioned bone-and-gristle cruncher right up George A. Romero's alley, but there's more to it. The writing is crisp, punctuated with military patois and medieval violence while Greenway struggles not just to make sense of the horror, but his own place in it. Much like the experiences found in The Walking Dead and 28 Days Later, what's wrong in this world is human, not some dark force waiting to ambush a hero with a heart of gold. It's just us. Smart, bleak, and rare - a wide-eyed stare into the abyss sans hope or hysteria."" - Kirkus Reviews
