Don't Eat Cat

Great short story.

Solid story. I don't generally like zombie fiction but this was worth a read. I would have liked to see the story expanded upon. The ending fell a little flat for me.

Review

I don't have a long winded thoughtful post to give you about this story, I just have to say that I absolutely adored it. The meaning behind this is fantastic and I probably read Mr. Walters explanation to anyone who would listen. This story was entertaining, funny, enjoyable and thought provoking. It took an old idea and made it into something new. And it accomplished all this in four chapters. It's a perfect story to read when you're babysitting and the kids asleep, or when you can't sleep at night, or when you're at dinner with your parents and don't want to join in on conversation. It's a quick read, so you have no excuse to put it off. I would highly recommend it!

Entertaining short

Original review (10/2/12): Very brief, but just as long as it needs to be.

Re-read (9/13/17): Re-read 'cause I had forgot that I had read it before. Good little short story that gives just a few zombies, and maybe why someone would want to become one.

An excellent short story with a different take on zombies.

Another Byliner title well worth the 99 cents I paid on Amazon. I just wish it was longer. Died out quickly with an ending I didn't totally understand. Kind of like a zombie.

Like many of the others who have read this single, I felt as though the concept was rich enough to birth a far more in-depth exploration. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the humor and I found the philosophical ramifications of the ending to be fairly thought-provoking. Definitely worth the price, even though it is an extremely short/quick read.

this could have been really quite good, and I guess kindle singles are supposed to be short, but it pulled me in enough to want more and there's no more. I swear the description on goodreads is as long as the story!
