Review: Crimson (The Red Plague #1) by R.W. Fisher

Crimson

The Red Plague #1

by R.W. Fisher

Published: June 1, 2022

Publisher: Mumbles Print

Genre: Post-Apocalyptic, Science Fiction, Horror


Blurb:


Learning to survive this fallen world, avoiding the mutilated corpses inhabiting interstate 5 and its surrounding cities, is a lot like surfing. Some learn slowly, first mastering the shallow waves, while others are thrown into the depths and forced to tread water.

Eighteen-year-old Bobby Stratton will never forget his first encounter. He was rubbing the thigh of his longtime girlfriend, scratching up and down her distressed denim. The final minutes of their 4th period biology class was drawing near when the piercing sirens ensued. The door hinges snapped, and without warning, they became submerged in the blood of their peers. They were…eating each other. Entrails splashed upon whiteboards and innards covered their wooden floors like fresh chum.

Bobby peered from beneath his desk, unaware of what led to such mutilation, and was met with the unforgettable sight of his former teacher. His once innocent, blue eyes, now blanketed with a crimson sheet.

Carnage hit their school in a wave. Only the quickest and most adept were able to escape the bloody riptide.

My Review:

Crimson is the first book in The Red Plague series and a great introduction to a brand new world filled with zombies. Crimson The Red Plague fits the story so well when the zombies take a bite out of their victims. Then there is red all over the place and everything and not to mention their insides come tumbling out for the world to see on occasion that is.

It is a world of red filled with lots of zombie killing, action, and horror like you’ve never seen before. The zombies are not the scariest thing that you have to worry about in this post-apocalyptic world, nope, the humans or the alive can be more deadly than the undead and sometimes way more scarier. The alive can turn the world just as red as the undead if they so choose.

Crimson tells the stories of high school students as they lay eyes on zombies for the first time. We get to see the world through their eyes as they watch as their friends are being eaten alive by their other friends.

After the virus sweeps through town chaos sets in. Everyone or at least the bad and evil people want to take over the world. They want to be in control of everyone and everything.

I love reading about zombies and watching TV shows about zombies. I can’t seem to get enough of zombies. So when I ran across Crimson I knew right away that I had to read it. I will have to say that Crimson is unlike any zombie book I have read before. It is unique in its own way.

I love the world that the author created for our little friends. I loved all the zombie scenes. They were so vividly written that I had no trouble whatsoever picturing it all in my head. But even so, I would still love to see Crimson on the big screen. I can’t wait for more from this world in the future.

I definitely recommend Crimson to all zombie fans! Grab your copy of Crimson today!
