Rating: 4
[ unmissable | great stuff | worth reading | mind candy | waste of time | unfinishable ]

reviewed 11 November 2011

Angel Crawford is typical white trash, a high school dropout, living with her alcoholic dead beat father, already popping pills herself. She looks well on the road to an early grave, until she wakes up in hospital after an overdose, with a strange craving...

It's fun to watch Angel as she slowly comes to realise what she is, tries to learn about zombies from watching B movies, and learns self-discipline in order not to become a monster. Lots of interesting details about working in a mortuary, too. And maggots.

Fun mind candy. Or brain candy. Or brains as candy.
