Customer Reviews

Another good horror novel from Gary Brandner. It's short, inventive, lean, and fast-moving.

This book is about a young woman who drowns in a pool, has a near-death experience, and gets revived by an off-duty doctor who lives in the nearest apartment building. After dancing for hours, she gets severe muscle cramps while swimming in the pool. (The book makes it seem like she got her swimmer's cramps because she ate right before swimming, but all eating would do is give you an abdomenal cramp, not a leg cramp.) She goes under, loses consciousness, and drowns. She's technically dead for a short time, but either through her will to live or through the CPR of a doctor, she comes back. While she was dead, she felt the pull of a dark entity and the presence of many lost souls. The entity believes that she should have stayed dead and sends a series of emissaries to kill her. They are the reanimated corpses of the recently dead (the 'walkers' of the title).

Oh My God! Who Wrote That Review!??!! Great BookThough

This book is a horror readers treat!, I loved everything about this novel. I enjoy anything written by Gary Brandner, he has a simple cinematic style of writing, mentally it's like watching your own personal horror film. Who wrote the review below me?, Oh!...My!...God!...can anyone say school...or english class?!...YUK! Synopsis; Joana was one of the dead, But she was brought back to life!. That's when people began trying to kill her...nice people...the last people in the world anyone would suspect of being capable of murder...people who were already dead...
