We, The Infected

Okay, so I finally finished, barring "Final Processing," which I'm going to leave to when I read "Handling the Undead." "Paper Walls" -- I found very short and atmospheric. Enjoyable, but ultimately not a lot there. May read this one again. "Tindalos" - I thought I was going to end up lumping this o...

Wait, "The Border" is being filmed? Link? Never mind, I found it. Interesting choice for a movie. Continuing with my thoughts on the stories... I have to preface with one note: I've been reading this collection as an e-book, and I have been "reading" it at times using software on my phone which rea...

Not predictable from the onset, at least the form that it took. Nice layering. And being a New Englander, I always appreciate ...

Haven't read yet, but my first thought was, "What's he going to do when he runs out of phrases from that Morrissey song for titles?"

I kid, I kid.

I thought I'd start a thread to discuss the *other* stories in the anthology. I'm intending to read the whole thing, because I just can't stand the idea of gobbling up the JAL story first. Are you reading the others? I'm only one story in, but I enjoyed "Up In Old Vermont," the first story. I kind o...

I was going to grab the e-book, but, oddly, the paperback is currently cheaper than the Kindle version on Amazon.
