Between the melodramatic prose, flatly stereotypical characters, unconscious racism, and blinding misogyny, it's almost a parody to my ear. All that aside, it is a well plotted action story. I did enjoy following the mystery, and the cleverness of the villain. I also enjoyed deconstructing the book's issues, occasionally making snarky comments. The narration suited the story well, capturing the melodrama without going over the top. (  ) hopeevey | May 20, 2018 | At the end is also a bit of a glossary to translate the jargon of the era, but you don't really need it. A great taste of the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction. (  ) ChazziFrazz | Jun 23, 2016 | I know that this is pulp fiction from ages ago, so I didn't go into this book looking for the greatest piece of literature ever written. I was looking for it to be entertaining and not much depth. That's what's here. So all in all, I was satisfied. What didn't really get me into the story was the main character. For a detective, who's trying to take down an apparent zombie master and his undead minions, he shouldn't have gotten himself captured multiple times and knocked out so often in only just over 100 pages. Also, I knew who the bad guy was in the first few chapters. It wasn't a case of the reader knowing more than the character, either. All the facts were in his face. But still, it was a good way to spend the afternoon. ( ) Robert.Zimmermann | Oct 15, 2015 | ) TPMCNULTY | Jun 16, 2014 |
Frightful fun from yesteryear. A rollicking horror yarn [that] taps into the current craze for zombies...heart-pounding." Gehört zur Reihe
Detective Terry Lane is a standout homicide cop who thought he’d seen it all . . . until now. As tough as Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness of The Untouchables—and just as incorruptible—Lane has seen the darkest side of human behavior. But he’s never seen a murder spree like this, targeting the wealthy, the powerful and the privileged. For the evidence is clear: the killers have not emerged from the seamy underside of the city . . . but from six feet under it. They are the walking dead, spreading terror and showing no mercy. Following a trail of drugs, blackmail, and the twisted clues of a seductive nightclub singer, Detective Lane will have to think outside the box…or he could end up inside one, buried alive. In 1934, while living in New York, the heart of the publishing industry, Hubbard struck up a friendship with the city’s medical examiner—a relationship that started his education in undetectable crime and provided him with authoritative clinical background for his detective stories. “Frightful fun from yesteryear.” —Fangoria * An International Book Awards Winner Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
