REVIEW -- AiZ: Alice in Zombieland

'Tis the HORRIFIC season! !

Hey PEOPLE, ghouls...etc! A while back (HERE), I told you all about an eBook called AiZ: Alice in Zombieland! Well! Here's my review on it!

Josh Cook's Alice in Zombieland is pure awesomeness! Pretty much the story line and it follows various characters, one being Alice, a girl with the potential to survive Rolan Global's second birth serum (SBS). This serum has the potential to control life, allowing people to neither live nor die, sticking them in a zombielike state but with a mental and physical awareness much like a living human. Richard Roslun seeks to make a fortune from the serum's successs, but not without a fight from Alice's sister, Gee, and friend Sam, who storm from Blake Island to retrieve Alice.

MY LIKES! Because of the title, I initially thought Alice in Zombieland was a comedy horror. I connected Alice in Wonderland to Zombieland. But the story like was actually serious, with lighthearted comedy spread throughout. However! My presumption did not keep me from enjoying the story. Even if you make the same mistakes I did, you won't be disappointed.

All of the characters are believeable. I can't figure out which one I like. Gee is very serious and witty, while Sam is hilarious and quirky! Josh did a great job of combining Alice's innocence and aggressiveness. Those two characteristics are usually hard to do for characters but Josh did a phenomenal job with that one!

The dialogue is awesome and easy to read. It sounds like you are right there listening to the conversations! Also, the setting is explained in an amazing way that comes to light in the reader's mind.

MY DISLIKES! The cover was cool, but in my opinion, I'm not sure if it fits the story. And since it is the first thing I saw, I didn't expect the high level of writing that followed. ALSO! I kept wondering if the story should have been written in past tense than present, it can be wordy in the present tense. This may be my personal preference, but you guys can read it and tell me what you think!

I would totally recommend this eBook to people! Usually, you have to direct entertainment to certain crowds, but Alice in Zombieland is different. Though it contains strong, scifi and horror elements, this story is enjoyable for everyone Pick it up and you'll definitely see what I'm talking about!

AiZ: Alice in Zombieland is now available on Amazon/Kindle and Smashwords! You can check out my interview with Josh Cook HERE! He's extremely laid back and talented. I fell in love with his AiZ: Alice in Zombieland!

AiZ: Alice in Zombieland

I hope that everyone had an awesome New Year's Day/Night! This year, I'm doing something different. I have no resolutions. I'm going to continue to strive to be oh so much better than what I am! I'll let you know how that works out for me...

 WELCOME TO 2012!

The release of the eBook AiZ: Alice in Zombieland is now available on Amazon/Kindle and Smashwords! It was written by Joshua Cook! I interviewed him back in September which was so awesome! (You can check it out HERE!) He's extremely laid back and talented. I fell in love with his AiZ: Alice in Zombieland!

Just so you know what you're getting yourself into, AiZ: Alice in Zombieland is about the world as we know it has changed. People still go to work and children still go to school. Politicians lie and people die... but not everybody stays dead. Thanks to experiments run by Roslun Global, the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, death may be an option and not an absolute. The head of Roslun Global, Richard Roslun, is almost ready to unleash his Second Birth Serum on the world, but first he needs a test subject.

That is where a little girl named Alice comes in. After being attacked during a zombie outbreak, Alice was taken from her older sister, Georgia Marie. Determined to find her sister, Georgia must work with a man she has just met - Sam Ashe. Sam has recently had to murder his fiancee-turned-zombie, and has vowed to take revenge on the evil company that has caused everything. Can these two heroes find Alice and stop Richard Roslun before it's too late - or are we all doomed to live in a zombie apocalypse!

AiZ: Alice in Zombieland is the first Zombie A.C.R.E.S. story that is available ONLY in eBook format and it's only $1.49.  The cover art was done by Timothy Brand of Brand Graphics who also helps out with ZombieACRES.com.

AiZ: Alice in Zombieland is the precursor to the first Zombie A.C.R.E.S. comic series which debuts Spring 2012 with the artistic talents of Don Scherer from Ratatat Graphics and Dan Sosa from Danny Sosa Art.

I'd definitely recommend that you check out this eBook! I'll be doing a review on it as well as doing a FREE giveaway of this eBook! The giveaway will be very soon! Keep your eyes...open. O_O!!

Interview -- Josh Cook, Creator of Zombie Acres

I was lucky enough to get an interview with Josh Cook, creator of Zombies Acres (ZombieAcres.com). He has to be one of the coolest, down to earth guys I have ever met!

He's very ambitious with his project, and being able to interview him really made my week. It made me feel like, know what you want to do-- then go for it. SERIOUSLY. As cliche as it sounds, life is too short. Yes, you can help others out with their dreams, but what about your own? In the interview, he dug deep and explained more about himself, his project and his rapid growth online.

He'll be at Seattle Zombie Con on October 21st - 23rd, 2011. Take a peek at the interview & trust me, you won't be disappointed!



(RANDOM: Peep his cool shirt!)

I hope you guys enjoyed the interview, I know I did! Again, thank you, Josh, for the in-depth interview. You're an awesome man with great taste in Zombie movies. And thank you to everyone who helped with Zombie Acres.
