Genre Savvy | |
| Pavlov's Dogs / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: How Ken Bishop and Jorge survive as long as they do. Wrong Genre Savvy: What things start to turn into as they get more serious and less like the urban fantasy buddy comedy they were treating it as. The first book is especially noteworthy as it's one of the few Zombie Apocalypse stories which assume zombie fiction exists. As a result, its heroes avoid a lot of the common pratfalls associated with the genre. This is because zombies were created, in part, as a terror weapon. | |

Mad Scientist: Doctor Crispin manages to revive a Dead Horse Trope quite well. His research into creating werewolf supersoldiers is treated as completely sane and rational in-story. So much so, the heroes are convinced. It's not until the short stories we find out he's responsible for the zombie outbreak too. | |
