Two friends who have drifted apart go on an unintended journey when they take a drug that technically turns them into zombies for 72 hours. But near immortal cultists intent on journeying to the other side will stop at nothing to get the 'Bloom' back, even if it means taking it from their undead bodies. As the two men run for their unlives they test the bonds of friendship and learn the whole universe is depending on them. So we're probably screwed.

While this novel lacks heart, it packs snark. For the most part, I dug this book. But it did take me a while to get through. That's because it has a hot start and then a lukewarm middle. The ending picks up for sure, however. The things I liked about Dead 'til Dawn (a Kindle Scout winner) are as follows:1. The two main characters had "good chemistry" during the entire novel. I found their witty exchanges to be a shining highlight.
2. The humor was persistent (and surprisingly solid) in its presence throughout.
3. It was well-edited and well-written...and didn't have many drops in quality grammatically, except for a few flubs here and there with a misspelling or a repeated word. Gerald, if you're reading this—and I'm positive that you are or will soon, since you seem to fearlessly comment on several of your reviews received on Amazon—I'll happily send you the botches in a direct message, if you're down for that. I tracked them while journeying through DTD. Don't get yourself a towel, though...it's not enough to sweat over. Just small stuff!
Anyway, here are three things I didn't dig too much about this:
1. The meandering middle. My God, was it a slog. For whatever reason, the book had this special superpower to make me NOT care at times, so I actually quit reading for quite a while. I just didn't care for what would happen next. The cliffhangers to the chapters didn't leave me hanging/wanting as much as other fictional stories have in the past.
2. The overall sarcastic nature to the novel started to get old Flash-fast. At first it was refreshing and even unique (especially since the book is told from a third-person perspective) in its narrative decisions, but it fell flat in parts and desensitized you with a slew of look-at-me meta.
3. The plot went haywire. It didn't know what it wanted to be...the book's identity was always in question with itself, if that makes any sense. It was like a drug buddy book for a bit, morphed into a mild zombie story after that, and then went full-on nutty McGee with the supernatural and spiritual. Of course, it mixed a lot of genres up as well, so I'm not too ticked. There's a reason I'm still standing on a four-star rating. I'll hold firm on that.
So, I dug this. I wouldn't exactly say it's a novel that'll stay with me for years, but it was a decent foray into the overcrowded zombie field of fiction. It was definitely not the standard fare.
Check it out! And I, for one, liked the "pompous ass" foreword. It's supposed to be ridiculous! I thought it was rather clever. Anybody who didn't/doesn't get that is just an idiot and shouldn't even begin to read this story.

Dead 'til Dawn edition by Gerald Dean Rice Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I think this book had a good story, but there was just too much of it. Too much story, too many characters, too much happening. It all comes together in the end, but it didn't feel satisfactory, it was more like "phew, thank goodness that was it".
Jim and Gary get into a crazy mess. I love these guys. This is a fantastic idea delivered quite well. My only issue is the use of the word 'had' so much. Most tales
occur in the past, and a past event within a past event definitely deserves a had or had been. That being said, if you removed all the 'hads' the book would be significantly shorter. I had gone to the store? Just say 'went' dude.
The book was interestingly different but was slow in developing. Also there were times when the storyline was lost. I would say if you were looking for something completely different this would be a good choice.
Dead 'til Dawn by Gerald Dean Rice is a book I won through the Scout program. I am not someone really into zombie books really but it sounded like a book that would make it to a book. After reading it, it is an okay read. It is different. It is not my kind of book but it is not a bad book. I found it was a bit wordy. I think the concept was new and different which was a big plus but I really couldn't bond with the characters. Worth the read regardless.
This book was bizarre. It starts out rather humorous like a zombie version of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Gary and Jim become zombies for a couple of days after consuming a black pill. The two friends behave and talk like juveniles, and end up at various drug-intensive parties, among other things. From there, the story gets decidedly stranger, with various religious overtones. I think those who love zombie stories will enjoy it.
I received a copy of this book through the Scout program.
I received the book for a fair review.
I will admit that the story, setting and plot are interesting and unique, but there are many aspects in the book that could use a little more revising. The characters come out as funny but falls short of becoming someone I can relate to. This is a different type of zombie movie, initially I thought it was sci-fi but it later moved onto fantasy/ paranormal.
Overall, this is an entertaining read for zombie fans, it has its twists and turns, enough to keep you going.a
The book started with what I thought was a unique idea for a zombie story. I was interested to see what would happen to the two friends now accidentally zombies for a few days. Unfortunately the book took some very odd twists and turns. Many things happened that did not seem to fit into the story at all. I finished the book with the hope that the ending would tie things together, answer some questions and redeem the story. Unfortunately in my opinion that did not happen.
