Retro Zombie And Some Great News

Happy Friday, my Imaginarians. Hope you all have and are having a terrific day wherever you are. First, I'm rolling out with some incredibly cool news. I received word that my story, Nathan's Angel, just garnered a 4 Heart review from Ana at The Romance Studio.  To read her incredible review, click here.

Hear that? I'm shaking my tail feathers in a happy dance. I should probably record this and give you all a good laugh...

Now on with the real show. I had the opportunity to read one of the most unique books ever. I'm talking Retro Zombie by the ultra cool Jeremy Hawkins, A to Z co-host extraordinaire and all around awesome blog buddy. Here is my review:

"This book is an incredibly unique reading and visual experience, a provocative work that will leave you talking for hours once you've turned that last page. How to describe it? It is like reading a psychedelic guitar riff. The artwork is a wild trip through a carnival fun house cemetery, each image macabre and trippy,

Accompanying these intense visuals is some wicked brilliant free verse. The words painted pictures in my mind's eye  ran the gamut from beautiful and frenetic to sensual and ugly. I felt like I was sitting in some smoky beat club, sipping absinthe with Kerouac and Ginsberg. Retro Zombie is a visionary work that will blow your mind."

If you love horror, particularly served up literary style, then you must check this book out. Even if you're not into horror, I think you'll be impressed with the images and the verse. Here are the buy links:

Have a great weekend and stay tuned for more good things tomorrow. :

    Reading a psychedelic guitar? Is that a good thing? Sounds like it could be bad for the head.

      LOL You think it would be bad, don't you? But, in this case it was a very good thing.

      Thanks, Maurice! I hope you get to read the review. It might have been blocked because TRS has some explicit excerpts on their site.

    Hi Melissa, I'm sorry to learn you were having a bad week, but great news! A 4 heart review! Go girl.
    Retro Zombie is one talented guy. Those badges for the A-Z were awesome. His book sounds awesome too.
