Pretty good story. I enjoyed it.

A thoroughly dark, horrifying story of monsters on the loose in Virginia. A 14- and 12-year old pair of brothers try to escape. Pretty visceral and nihilistic, but very effective. This was excised from a novel, Zero Day, which tells the story of the monsters in another part of the country in greater detail, I suppose. It does sort of make me want to look at that book to see where the monsters came from in the first place....

Perhaps turning Jesus into a foulmouthed San Francisco police homicide detective isn't the greatest idea going, but there are a few amusing moments in this brief flurry of violence. An unfinished second story doesn't fare as well, however. Still, the writing isn't bad, and this might be an author worth exploring further.
