Omega Zombie Review

David Brown

Omega Zombie follows Penny Goodfellow through a series of tragic events. She has found her parents murdered by a vampire and has been killed herself. Brought back to life, she has a chance to enact revenge on the one that took everything from her.

Omega Zombie is one of those books that can be read in one sitting, but that doesn't mean that it is bad. I would say that it takes its short 60 pages and fills them with enough blood, drama, gore and action to keep you interested the whole way through. This is a book that you will not want to put down once you have begun it. 

The writing is very good and we get a good dose of character development along the way. We feel for Penny and what she is going through and care what happens to her. The narrative is accentuated by stunning visuals reminiscent of great graphic novels. The black and white visuals go far in making this a dark and gritty story.

When it is all said and done, you will be left satisfied and will feel closure. Omega Zombie is published by Zilyon Publishing and is available now. Shamble on over to Amazon, Smashwords or your nearest bookstore and pick this up today.

ZOMBCON: Day 2

Todd Jepperson

Day two down, and we're having a blast! The day started off with a good half hour Zombie hunt on the beautiful beaches of Dead Island (on the courtesy plasma screen and Xbox 360 setup in the lobby) before climbing in and holding down the fort.

The lights went down in the whole place four times during the day. It might not sound like a big deal, but when you're at the world's largest congregation of shambling masses of the undead, the lights going out is like wholesale creepy-mood ambience.

For our Facebook fans among you, you'll recognize names like Zilyon Publishing and Zombie Tools, but let me introduce you all to our next-booth neighbors Night Zero. All con long, we've been hanging out with these guys and watching them work their magic. We've spoken at length with Ian about the crazy cool HDR photography these guys use in their Photographic novel: Night Zero.



I also had a chance to witness the infection spread as our friend Jana got her hands dirty and turned con-goer Jason from this...



to this...



and eventually to this...



If anyone in the neighborhood hasn't come down yet, do it. We're having a whole lot of fun here and we'd hate to have it all without you. Tomorrow is the last day and our trip just won't be quite right if we don't see you here.
