I love a good zombie story. This wasn't that. It's short, so the author spends no time on buildup. Just boom! Hey there's people eating each other. I feel like if you're going to go for a novella, you maybe should limit the scope and add more details. At least enough so we care whether or not a character gets eaten. (2hoursx7thonsx10)+21+(26wordsx10)=421

Nothing new added to zombie genre here. Right away, Wise gives away that the dad David has testicular cancer, so his survival statistics got skewed in my mind immediately. Then there's the first outbreak scene David watches on the news. Felt like complete gratuitous shock-horror. I have no vivid recollection of the resolution. I remember who lived and who died, but how the plot played out is a guessing game for me.
