My review of Len Barnhart's "Reign of the Dead - Outbreak" book review.

REVIEW: www.reignofthedead.com

I recently read Len Barnhart’s newest book ‘Reign of the Dead Outbreak’. For me it had been a much anticipated read as I enjoyed his first two books “Reign of the Dead” and Reign of the Dead- Apocalypse End’ very much.  When Len told me he was publishing his new book I was excited and could not wait to read it and I have to say he didn’t disappoint me.

The book was a page turner and lived up to every expectation I could have imagined as a zombie fanatic. His use of characters and the controversial relationships between them in the midst of his post apocalyptic landscape was very well done and made me like the characters even more. Some he made you love and some he made you hate and some you actually felt the emotion when they didn’t make it. (And you’ll know who I’m talking about when you read the book) The detail he goes into when he paints the picture for your imagination to fill in is inspiring and unmatched in my opinion and when he describes the zombies in his stories you can almost smell them.

Reading Len’s first novel was my introduction into the world of the zombie horror genre and after being a huge fan of the movies for years, I began to collect every zombie novel I could get my hands on and now I have a huge collection of both, but I have to say Len Barnhart’s work is the measure that all other zombie novels I read are measured against. When he told me he was going to write one more, my first thought was he can’t get it out fast enough for me. I loved the book and I would recommend it to not only zombie fans out there but anyone who appreciates a well written horror novel. I would give it three thumbs up if I had three thumbs.

In Bangkok on a puppet shoot.... How fun is that?

This is Mr. Puppet Puppertin the Puppety puppet that I am using for a puppet gig in Bangkok Thailand. Seriously though it's a shoot for DHL and this puppet has been dolled up (no puppet pun intended) to resemble one of the upper management figureheads in the DHL company. It's a fun gig and I always love visiting Bangkok... it's such a crazy place. I am also working with an old friend Jaclyn Chan whom I have not worked with in a long while. she was on of the writers on my Planet Bizzaro TV show and we are working together again. It's a blast so far... but today is the big day and boy am I looking forward to it.

THE VERDICT IS OUT

Well it was a difficult choice to make but I have to thank all my friends on Facebook as well as Twitter and other online venues for giving me your feedback. Sometimes when you are endeavoring to do something creative you have to step back and get away from it for a bit. The feedback I got and all in all from the blog to the Facebook comments I got, some of which I posted up on the blog, I probably had over 50 different votes telling me which cover to use. I heard from Peers and graphic designer friends not to mention friends who have kids in the age group I am writing this book for, so all your feedback was very helpful. So with all that said I finally came to the decision to use the cover designed by my great friend Matt Ficner. So here it is... the new cover of my upcoming book SPACE SCURVY- THE TWO ISLANDS OF CAPTAIN CULPEPPER. If this is not the cover you voted for, please don't let that keep you from getting the book for either your kid or some other fantastic kid that you know and love. What ever you do.... don't judge this book by it's cover. 

THANKS 

Brian
