Where the Dead Talk:
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Version: eBook
Author: Ken Davis
GoodReads:
Out past the towns and villages of Colonial Massachusetts lies a lake, black and icy and deep.When night settles on the deep woods, when the wind sings a mournful song through the trees, voices can sometimes be heard, rising from its still surface: voices of the lost, voices of the damned, voices of the dead.
When tragedy unlocks the terrifying secret of the lake, when revolution explodes across the countryside, the doorway to Hell opens a crack and the dead begin to rise.

Review:
Where
the Dead talk is not a genre that I generally gravitate towards. However, my
interest spiked after reading the summary and I decide to give it a shot. The
combination between my love of Halloween and the fact that it's slowly approaching
probably aided in my decision… just a bit :).
Though
I did enjoy the story, it seemed like it took an eternity to finish. My honest
guess was that the book was somewhere around 500-600 pages long, so imagine my shock
when I learned it was only 264 pages in length (GoodReads). I guess when you
read intermittently... on the bus... on your phone… you don't make as much
progress as you think you do. Also, the storyline seemed to build a little
slow, which in my case didn't help matters.
Yet,
when the zombies came out, I was hooked. I got chills when a character would
look up and see a zombie staring back or see a zombie scrambling on the ceiling
of a dark house. I’ve really never understood the fascination with zombies;
much less zombie themed books, but “Where the Dead Talk” gave me a little
glimpse of understanding. Let me say
again, this is NOT my genre, but I really enjoyed this book! Other than what I’ve
already said, I really don’t have much more to add, but if you have questions/comments please feel free to post below.
Give
it a shot and get in the Halloween mood!

Sounds interesting, even if zombie books are not something I read much either!
I'll probably be checking it out!
