I've watched a lot of zombie movies and read more than a few zombie-themed horror stories over the past ten years or so. Out of them all, only two really stand out. The first was the short story A Sad Last Love at the Diner of the Damned in Book of the Dead for a particularly gross paragraph that likened castration to opening an over-stuffed Zip-Lock bag of ravioli; the second was The Night Boat, which didn't have any single passage that was a visceral as that, but collectively was every bit as descriptive and terrifying. This book gave me nightmares, which is no easy task. If anyone has ever seen the old Peter Cushing movie about nazi zombies (or is it zombie nazis?), The Night Boat is going to be a turn-off at first glance; how many ways can you serve up undead fascists in the Bahamas? The biggest difference between the two - and the book's primary advantage over the movie - is the power of the reader's imagination to conjure-up a good scare and the author's ability to invoke it through building a sense of foreboding and dread with repetitive descriptions of mundane things. Early on in the book, before the zombies begin running amok, the author describes the sound of something heavy thudding dully against the interior of the recovered German U-Boat, over-and-over, from the point-of-view of several different characters. In an of itself there's nothing particularly scary about it, but given the reader's omniscience, it's very effective in evoking the image of cursed, undead sailors hammering futilely against the rusted metal walls of their maritime crypt. The ending was a bit of a disappointment, and without giving too much away all I will say is "Deus Ex Machina." It made sense in the overall context of the story, but given that the actors involved didn't really appear at any point earlier in the story, it didn't wrap things up neatly so much as just end them. Eh, no one is perfect. I give "The Night Boat" four gory stars out of five!

You know how you can turn on the TV and watch any episode of Law & Order and enjoy it regardless of whether you've seen the show before? Law & Order: SVU on the other hand requires more of an investment. One needs to know what has happened in the lives of the detectives and attorneys and how that relates to the case at hand. This book is more like Law & Order: SVU. I had never read a book by this author before, and I felt like I was jumping in halfway through the season. The authors refer frequently to events of past books without explaining why these events are relevant. They assume you already know. Nothing on either cover or the inner flap informs you that this might be a series you'd want to read from the beginning. The first half of the book read like a harlequin romance novel with multiple sexual encounters that were described lightly, leaving much to the reader's imagination. The second half of the book was more like the mystery novel this book purports itself to be. The ending left quite a bit to be desired. Although the main 'mystery' of the book was solved, the ramifications are more than I'd like my hero/heroine to have to experience. I may be judging this a little harshly, since it's really quite far from my favored genres. When my husband, who owned the book initially, saw that I was going to read this, he said I was in for a treat. Again, I think those who'd read the other books featuring this character would enjoy it more.
