Book Review: Zombie Apocalypse! by Stephen Jones.

Zombie Apocalypse!!

The title of this book is pretty simple and straightforward, but not so much it's content. It is set in the modern world, the catalyst of this whole mess starting with excavating a graveyard that is fabled to house plague victims of the old - we are talking about 5 or 6 centuries ago, with the possibilities of some 'evolved' Bubonic plague.

So this graveyard mostly has countless of those who died of horrific plagues and were all stacked in one bundle and sealed until it was to be excavated to make way for a self - serving political festival that had inadvertently unleashed basically every plagues that were known to mankind and plagues that were kept in such tight secret because they were too horrific to comprehend. The book is a collection of perspectives - a professor who followed her gut instincts to delve deeper into the history of the kind of people who were buried there because it is a very old graveyard and that Health regulations for excavating sites had been breached to the highest order, from doctors who deal with patients who were infested with this plague, civilians confined to their homes under military supervision, live tweets of a boy with an errand zombie ON A PLANE that killed everyone, medical journal entries and teenage girl's, newspaper cuttings, history backstories, transcribes of various documents and so much more. I'd say the book is brilliantly executed.

This is not your typical White person saves the world and tryna survive flesh eating entities. Nay, this is a very realistic representation of what it is really like, on various walks of life that is struggling to survive a fast-deteriorating world. As the book progresses, you will sink further and deeper into despair and hopelessness. Because quite frankly it's chaos out there. I am seriously liking this book, a concise hypothetical outcome should a catastrophe befall mankind, because humanity is at it's most peaceful right now and we will NOT survive the shock of having it disrupted.

Imagine M.J rising from the dead and started doing Thriller.
