Humans, just barely managing to scrape by as it is - struggling to hold on to hope where there may no longer be any - will soon have to face a more horrifying and disheartening realization. This world belongs to the dead now. And there may soon be no place for the last remnants of the human race in the sprawling graveyard that the earth has become.Present Regarding Books Requiem for Humanity (Last Days, #1)

I liked the concept of the book, but hated the execution of it. Although it has a somewhat unique bent on zombies, the book never engaged me in either the story or the characters. At times, I found the writing awkward, having to go back and reread a paragraph, even a page, to understand what the author was writing. I won't be continuing in the series, even though I am curious where it will end up.Joseph Sweet was born October 31, 1976, and has been writing seriously since the age of sixteen. He currently lives in the upstate NY community of Watertown. He is author of the series of novels, "The Damnation Chronicles" and "Last Days," and a steadily growing number of short stories. You can read more about him, as well as information on other projects, at his website.When I saw Sweet's latest novel had to do with zombies, I groaned a little. I mean lately there is nothing but zombies & vampires everywhere you look. I like both subjects, but still. Ya know? I should not have worried. This book is outstanding. I'll go so far to say it may be my all time favorite on the subject of zombies. The writing is crisp & tight; I felt for each and every character, even the 'new' breed of zombies; Speaking of the 'new breed' of zombies: Brilliant! Just brilliant.
Really liked it! Love the "new" zombies! Of course I am left waiting anxiously for the next book.... Hooked, need more :)

Requiem for Humanity By Joseph SweetSuch a good book. This was the second book I had read of Mr. Sweet. The first being a novella The Drawer which I will be posting a review shortly. Requiem was a unique take in this genre. The common thread through the many groups of survivors had written down the events that had pertained to their group, observations and surviving. Some even left warnings for other survivors of things they had witnessed first hand and discoveries made along the way to
YES!! This is the zombie book I was looking for! Man, there's a lot of crap horror out there. I've been weeding through trying to find something that fills my desire to watch zombie movies and The Walking Dead but in book form. This did it, to a T. I'd call this "smart horror", if such thing exists. The plot is no more believable than any other zombie story, BUT it's well-written and takes zombies to a whole new level with a as-plausable-as-zombie-stories-can-be plot line. I love that this is
