THE END: A zombie horror novella Kindle Edition

by Adam M. Booth (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.7 out of 5 stars 169 ratings
“With beautifully constructed prose and an intensely brisk pace, THE END is a very quick and satisfying 74 page read. It’s a character study, replete with originality in a genre that sorely needs it.” - from The Obsessive Book Nerd A zombie horror told from the zombie's perspective, THE END is one woman's account of the end of her life, her family and everything. Like many single parents in their thirties Zoe is overworked, overburdened and low on company, and when the zombie apocalypse begins she is forced to face the monster that has taken her over, the horrors he shows her, and her own murky past. “…achingly mournful, almost unbearable…a novella of genuine intelligence and masterful narration…ultimately THE END is an observation of loss…” - from The Slaughtered Bird THE END, a literary journey through the horror of loss. THE END is available as part the collection TERMINAL by the same author.

    Really enjoyed reading this, just wish there was more.
    I really wasn't sure what to expect, perhaps I was worried that this was going to be yet another Zombie story on the lines of Walking Dead. For me the start was a bit shaky, it took me a few chapters to get dragged into the world of "The End", but then I simply couldn't put it down. Towards the final few chapters I actually tried to slow down my reading, to try and make it last longer. Without giving anything away, it can report that it just got better and better and better!
    A very unique slant on the genre - 100% recommended.

    I loved this book. What the main character goes through is really harrowing and the story is bleak but I couldn't look away. It could have been longer I guess, was enjoying it so much I read it all in one sitting and that's why I only gave it 4 stars. Would like the see more from this author.

    Don't really agree with the majority, I'm afraid.

    I didn't like the writing style at all... far too pretentious. The writer uses three sentences where one would have sufficed.

    Gave up after 25%.

    What a great book. The author writes in such a poetic style, and the detail of the writing is so beautifully descriptive that it makes the reading atmospheric. I am not usually one for zombie stories but had heard great things about this book, and am so glad I read it. I love the perspective of the story as well. Being told from the main character "Zoe's" perspective. A different spin and I am looking forward to seeing the future works of this author. I am expecting great things.

    Zoe is waiting to spend some time with her daughter - two days home from boarding school. Things are strange; people are injjured; other people are helping them, or are they?
    A story of becoming part of the zombie apocalypse with lots of gory description. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.

    This is definitely a book that you’ll read in one sitting! It’s very descriptive and highly captivating. I’ve never been a big fan of zombie books and movies, but I felt that this book was more than the story of someone who was turned into a zombie…it’s deeper than that, it had some good philosophical points and when you read it you feel like you’re part of it.
    I would highly recommend it if you want to read something a bit different!

    I really enjoyed this book, I very quickly became engrossed in the story. It is a chilling tale that offers horror and gore, as you might expect, but also much more given that it is told from the perspective of the zombie.
    I would recommend this book, even if you are not an avid zombie fan, it is well worth the read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Story
    Reviewed in the United States on 21 February 2014

    Wow.

    I am very, very pleasantly amazed with this work. Adam Booth can write. That's saying a lot these days, in the glutted market of self-published zombie stories, this one stands out. There are a few editorial issues ("its" vs. "it's" most notably), but not anything that takes the reader away from the storyline. The writing itself is both beautiful and disgusting at the same time, and it's this dichotomy that is really striking to me, as it is done is a way that is touching but not pretentious.

    This short story is told from the first person perspective of Zoe (in Greek, her name ironically means "life"), as she is first attacked by a zombie, and then her transforms and lives as one of the undead. As she decays and shambles after the living, her consciousness struggles with sanity (recalling entire episodes of "Friends", reliving horrible episodes of her life). The best and worst scene, for me, was the youth in the blue wheelchair. His death at Zoe's hands, nowhere near as horrible as his life had been.

    I would recommend this to any fan of horror stories. Very well done.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising zombie story!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 February 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I first want to say I heard the book long before I read it. Checked and I owned it.
    I absolutely love this story. How refreshing to read a zombie story told from the zombies perspective. And it was like reading a lovely, lyrical story. ( the story is read aloud on you tube. Author knows as he comments on it. Love the narrator. )
    I highly suggest you grab this book. It will stay with you. I’d like to give one small spoiler, the main character is a female. And a Mom. That’s all I’m giving you.
    I have more of the authors books. Can’t wait to read them.

    It's a good thing this was a short novella or I would have been nuts by the time I finished. I kept wanting to quit but continued because I wanted to know what happened. NOTHING! That's what!
    It was disjointed and confusing - pretty much made no sense at all.
