“As I just got my hands
on the book, I can say that it was very hard to put down! T.N. delivers the
account of a not-so-human zombie, named Kyle. As for many stories about
zombies, it can be difficult to write personality and likability into the
character. But Kyle's struggle to fight the monster and have a semi-normal
life, with glimpses of his past life, help bring a very real human quality to
this zombie. His involvement with a witch pushes his limits adding a twist I
didn't see coming. I fell right into the story and found myself engaged in the
life happening all around Kyle.”

“Payne's story was "fun" to me because of how we get to learn about Kyle. The first-person narration is crisp and conversational. We learn about the flawed man and his struggles. The story's beginning sentence expertly sets the tone for the entire tale: "Every sinner must pay a price for the foolishness of their choices. I was paying mine now." Kyle says this as he's digging up a grave. As the story continues, we're introduced to several colorful characters, a black market cad, a witch willing to strike a bargain. I never knew what was coming next.
This story differed
greatly from the others in Beyond the Wail. But I liked this change. It
was the first zombie story, a less-than-perfect undead creature trying to do
the right thing, trying for redemption. Chances are you've not read anything
like this either. And, chances are, if you like stories about gambling and
zombies, you'll definitely like this one!”
