Review: CARRION by Gary Brandner

"Carrion" gives an interesting take on zombies: McAllister Fain has the power to bring the recently deceased back to life. The story basically follows two paths: Fain's rise to fame and fortune because of his newfound power, and the resurrected's slow descent into decay, madness, and lust for retribution.

The book was a quick, easy read that was well written. My main issue with the book is that nearly the entire novel feels like it is "building up" for something spectacular....which never arrives. The ending feels rushed and, without giving too much away, is a complete cop-out.

Not the greatest, not the worst, overall just average.
