stage three

I attribute Ken Stark’s Stage 3 novel for single-handedly rejuvenating my love for the zombie genre. It’s that good. The novel begins with protagonist Hank “Mace” Mason on a commercial flight heading towards San Francisco, CA. Hank seems ornery, partially hung-over from drinking too much scotch during the flight while also wallowing in misery over fractured relationship with his girlfriend “Becks.”
