HANDLING THE UNDEAD by John Lindqvist **

Zombie story. One day people die, a few days later worms drop from the sky and awaken the dead. There are several 'families' the writer selects to follow thru their ordeal. What a boring read this was. It kept see sawing from one stupid family with a dead relative to another. The police gather the reliving and not much happens there. No one has a diagnosis. Nothing even mentioning anything scientific happening.

Then people suddenly can read each other's minds around these reliving or read the dead's mind, lost me there. Then black masses come out of the darkness with hooks and I don't know....grab back the worms? So unexplained. Unformed ideas. Leaves you confused or bored or a combination of both. I didn't like it at all. Some girl keeps seeing her own self everywhere WHATEVER THAT MEANS. Foreign writers....AVOID them is my future motto. They suck.

At the end what happens? I have NO CLUE. Worms leave the dead people and either pop or die or turn into butterflies. LOL Author doesn't really have a clue so neither will you.
