Hungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie
4 Stars

I don’t usually like books about the zombie apocalypse but seeing as this was a short story, I took the plunge. I’m just fifteen pages, the author managed to write a story that was detailed and original. It is creepy and macabre. The story shows the desperation of today’s dating scene using zombies as a metaphor. It was clever and well written. The main character wants to overcome her loneliness by trying to find “ the one”. Yet after several failed attempts and one close call with the undead, she deems it just not worth it. Ending the story with a chance to expand was a good choice by the author. This is a quick read that can be read over a cup of coffee.
