First to Make the 2022 List | Horror Review | AstraDaemon

SCARE CREW by D.W. Nathan has a really intersting author's note at the beginning, discussing a summer relase for a book pertaining to the short story PARK CLOSES AT DUSK, which happens to be my favorite Nathan story of all-time.

As for this short, the author offers the undead's perspective of the evolution of zombie movies, how the films moved on from shamblers to runners. Eventually, the zombified narrator shares the harassment of an elderly neighbor by some young hoodlums, and he comes up with a scare-them-straight plan...only it doesn't quite work out the way he expects.

The ending is freaking spectacular...I love how readers are given more information about the other undead in addition to the narrator. Highly recommend!

As always,
AstraDaemon
