Will Sargent reviewed Land of the Beautiful Dead by R. Lee Smith
Review of 'Land of the Beautiful Dead' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I haven't finished this book yet, and I'm already writing a review. IT IS THAT GOOD.
YES, this is a romance novel. YES, it starts off with zombie cock. And somewhere down the line, the writing picks up a notch and starts digging into the tropes. Whether providing emotional support for complete assholes is really the best use of your time. The arguable nature of free will and utilitarianism. The emotive impact of architecture and gardening. Whether subtle is spelled with a "b".
And it works, because there's no way to expect what's on the next page. It could be anything.
But also zombie cock.
