Great premise for a zombie series, the usual man-made virus trope dusted off again, but this time thee action happens quite some time after the breakout and society is fairly stable and safe now. Or at least it would be if those ruddy journalists (the protagonists) didn't go poking sticks where they shouldn't.
This is something of a zombie version of Hunter S Thompson's campaign trail with the hired journalists documenting a presidential candidate's campaign trail, with various implausible (staged) accidents.
The action rolls along well, the characters are a little irritating and some of the dialogue really got on my nerves.
Overall an enjoyable read with something of a message to it, and I did carry on with the series.

This is one of the most genuinely funny books I've read in a long time. The introduction made me chuckle and several of the stories had me laughing out loud and holding on to my stomach while tears fell from my eyes. The editor is honest in saying that you'll find some of the stories hilarious and others not so much but somewhere along the way, we can see ourselves in similar situations and circumstances and while it might not be funny at the time, in the end, it makes for a good story.

One of the things I particularly enjoyed about the book is that sprinkled amongst the stories are little jokes, quotes and witticisms about the happy accidents and miseries known as traveling.

Dead End- is a funny movie, i dont think it was meant to be funny, but some of the comedy comes out of nowhere. Its a excellent horror movie as well.

The Plot: When a family en route to a Christmas Eve gathering decides to takes a shortcut down a wooded road, an eerie sequence of events signals trouble ahead. After nearly colliding with an oncoming car, father Frank (Ray Wise) picks up a ghostly hitchhiker (Amber Smith) and her infant child. With the sudden appearance of their new passengers, the route becomes dark and treacherous -- and the family's numbers rapidly begin to dwindle in a series of seemingly connected, grisly roadside accidents.

Its a excellent horror flick.

I like road trip films. Spot on review. First time I watched it, it came on like a fever dream and although not a perfect film by any standards, it did pull me in. Repeated viewings have been just as enjoyable. Certainly better than most of the pish that was around at this time. At least it tries to do something different.
