Dust by Joan Frances Turner


Dust does for Zombies what Buffy did for vampires!


Dust is told from the point of view of a zombie. What it is like to be one and to survive as one.

Turner "humanizes" zombies and puts a spin on this popular genre by having the reader experience what zombie society is like.

The characters are all richly developed, the storyline is intriguing, interesting and mesmerizing.

This is one book you can't miss! Be prepared to stay up late reading this hefty book and stay away from eating as the descriptions are gruesome at best.


Grade: A
