Zilyon Publishing
Suddenly realizing that he’s become something less than what he was, Hetfield Madden struggles to come to grips with his new reality. The biggest challenge confronting this transition? Accepting the fact that he is now a zombie. Rather than merely the mindless, gruesome monsters so often depicted in movies, Hetfield and his fellow zombie ilk view themselves as infected outcasts burdened by a sickness from which they can’t seem to heal. Compounding their troubles is the fact that the government and society at-large have completely rejected them, preferring to herd them into internment camps than help them recover their humanity. In light of the omnipresent adversity confronting him, Hetfield is forced to undergo considerable spiritual reflection if he ever hopes to regain everything he’s ever cared about…
Taut and gripping, Het Madden, A Zombie Perspective is a fast-paced, compelling read. In it, author Calvin A. L. Miller II presents the age-old doomsday scenario of a post-apocalyptic world – only he tells it from the perspective of the unfortunate diseased masses. In so doing, he inspires a considerable amount of empathy in the reader, inviting him/her to consider just how it would feel to be afflicted by such a horrendous twist of fate. Furthermore, bolstered by a host of spiritual, religious, and political undertones, Het Madden offers considerably profound, thought-provoking commentary on our societal folkways and mores, bringing readers face-to-face with the not-so-subtle prejudice and hypocritical leanings that tend to taint even the slightest of our everyday decisions.
A thoroughly enlightening and entertaining read, Het Madden, A Zombie Perspective is a bona fide literary treat. Definitely not for the faint of heart or mind.
