We all know the story of Lizzie Borden and the mystery of her father and step-mother's deaths persist to this day. In Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter C.A. Verstraete takes a different approach to the killings; Lizzie did indeed kill her father and step-mother, but only because she had to. In this fun, un-dead filled and intriguing re-telling, Lizzie appears as not a murderess or a victim, but the hero. Lizzie takes up not only an ax, but a sword and gun to protect her home and her sister, Emma from the new scourge of the un-dead that her father had some hand in releasing.
I really enjoyed this outlook on Lizzie's story with a fascinating blend of historical fiction and zombies! I was very impressed with the amount of facts that were able to be worked into the story; from the inquest, to Lizzie's relationship with her sister to her father's frugality. The mystery of just how the zombies originated and what her father was doing with was infectious and kept the reading at a good pace. The writing impressed with a good tone for Lizzie's point of view and the inclusion of zombies into a historical setting. With a few surprises at the end, Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter will be sure to please Lizzie fans and zombie fans alike.
