Finally, after so long, h and able to read a book like god zombies . Do not get me wrong but in the last year the books I've read of zombies were accompanied by magic and travel to alternate universes and new forms of terror going a step beyond the conventional. The problem is that after the conventional miss the earthly, "the terror closer" which is how I call it. Carlos Sisi is responsible for carrying out this task masterfully in The Walkmen. Imagine a day at the beach, a day like any other, as is truncated when a man drowned in the sand appears. But now imagine that the drowned man gets up and hits people who try to help him, tearing the skin snacks. Let us think of giving the coconut and you live near a hospital and suddenly one day, begin to be heard more sirens than usual later shots followed by incessant and enormous amount of ... screams. Finally, imagine you are going down the street and a man who pretends to be drunk passer-ripping attacks another the jugular. This is what I call the nearest terror " one that emerges from our everyday experiences and would never imagine that it is nothing more nor less than undead. In all these cases we have Juan Aranda, Susana, Moses, El Cojo, Dozer, Elizabeth Arthur, Robert, Peter, etc ... a series of characters that have two things in common: they live in Malaga and can survive as a zombie catastrophe of unknown proportions.
Undead roam the city, some are slow, others not so-called "runners" with a force and speed out of the ordinary. Everything is scarce, food, medicine, water ... and especially the living. However, one of them, Father Isidro has endured and survived for months the siege of the dead, performing this feat as one of our Lord, he is chosen for what? Better not tell you what I would because the creeps.
to the point, I had a hell of reading the book. Carlos Sisi puts us in a real world in a real Málaga and get to a plague that you think is real. Brings together a number of characters and rotated at will, squaring frames without a single line left over, something that is really appreciated. Believe me, in spite of the number of players, get that you admire each and every one of them. There's action, sadness, terror humanity but above all, much terror, as it manages to recreate some scenes and images so that the re-read if you're a sado of such readings. What if I recommend the book? Is of the three best of the genre of zombies I've ever read . In fact, if Z Apocalypse films were successful, would like to see The Walkmen at the small screen, would for a good miniseries. And now, I'm looking forward to breakfast time to go buy the following: The Necropolis walkers.
