4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun collection worth seeking out if you're a zombie/carnie fan, July 16, 2008
This review is from: Dating Secrets of the Dead (Hardcover)
This is a slim hardcover I received as a gift two years ago and recently read. Zombie and carny tales (Geek Love is still my all-time favorite book) have always been a favorite of mine so seeing as this collection features both a zombie love story and a vicious little carny tale I was already biased before turning the first page. The writing goes down easy and is filled with lots of great dry humor and I enjoyed all of the novellas.

I wish Prill was more prolific!, March 30, 2007
This review is from: Dating Secrets of the Dead (Hardcover)
The first book from the talented Prill in many years, this slim, signed, limited volume contains four short stories, "Dating Secrets of the Dead" (by far the weakest offering), "Carnyvore," (reminiscent of an old EC Comics morality tale), the bittersweet "The End of the Horror Show," and "Children of the Carp," a precursor to Prill's outrageous second novel, SERIAL KILLER DAYS. All are well worth your time.
