The Undead Situation by Eloise J Knapp

The Undead Situation by Eloise J Knapp is very similar to the 1949 classic post-apocalyptic novel in that our main character is almost unaffected by the downfall of society. Cyrus V. Sinclair (the V stands for a Variety of Awesome) has been capable of surviving on his own long before the zombie apocalypse, and does just as well after the dead start to rise. He is so stagnant in his life that it takes a while in the book before you even realize this is a male character. This is before Gabe falls into his life while trying to escape from an oncoming horde, and naturally this throws a huge wrench in Cyrus’ bachelor life style. Despite being polar opposites, they decide to venture out together and see if they can find Frank, Cyrus’ only friend and a fellow survivalist who lives in a cabin somewhere in the wild lands of Washington.

The Darkness by Crystal Conner

Sandy Claws brought me a kindle for Christmas, and I decided to break it in by reading The Darkness by Crystal Conner, which had been sitting as a pdf file on my computer for far too long.

The two women this novel centers around have quite a bit in common – they are both proud black women with great knowledge of the boundaries of science and magic, and both have used this knowledge to achieve great success. Artesmisia is a alchemist turned jeweler, who used the profits from her Bigger-Than-Tiffany’s corporation to run a top secret research lab determined to crack the mysteries of the universe. Inanna is a sorceress
