Portable Monsters
Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

My Life as a White Trash Zombie ★★★★★
I’m always happy when I read a book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I’m even happier when it was a book recommended by a friend. I’ve never cared for zombie stories, so I was a little dubious when Mike Finn recommended this one to me for the reading performance as much as for the story itself. But it delivered! The story itself was fun, with a little pathos, a little romance, and a little mystery. But the performance by Allison McLemore pushed it over the five-star threshold for me. The voice she gives the main character is absolutely perfect, and her pacing and emotion are spot on.
Audiobook, via Audible. Highly recommend. I’ll be looking for other books read by McLemore, for sure.
I read this for the 2018 Halloween Bingo square Deadlands: elements of the undead - zombies, wights, vampires and other revenants. It fits the square because, obviously, zombies.
