War and the creatures of horror stories fit together well in Joseph Nassise's 'Sharp End', a neat opener to a coming series featuring zombies in the trenches and in flying squadrons during World War 1.
The story is well paced with no fat, short enough to read quickly but long enough to get its job done and make you want more. It's an easy read and worth the buy for its own sake, especially if you were enthralled by 2000 AD's inestimable comic series 'Fiends of the Eastern Front', its later serial novelisation and the (fairly recent) game 'Wolfenstein 3D'.
By transposing to World War 1, extending the timeline of the war and switching to zombies, Nassise opens a realm of new possibilities.
Read 'The Sharp End'...
