Review: Shift for Brains

Zombie epidemics are bad for business.

And I thought five dollars plus your brain was a reasonable cover charge.

But you know…supply and demand…

And functioning brains are in short supply these days.

When it came to hunting vampires, I was second to none.

Vampires are intelligent. It also means they have predictable patterns. Figure out their habits and I could take care of most vamps and be back in time for breakfast.

They’re also image-conscious.

But zombies are unpredictable. They run on pure instinct.

They couldn’t care less about public relations.

Their numbers are growing by the hour.

Since I’m an elemental, they can’t smell me. It gives me an advantage that human hunters don’t have.

But will it be enough?

If I can’t stop them, it will mean the end of humanity, the end of the world as we know it.
