Zombie Tales Primrose Court Apt 205 eBook Robert Decoteau
3.5 StarsI did not realize that the Primrose Court Apt. stories were actually surrounding the book Don of the Living Dead until reading this one. I thought the idea of this story was very intriguing in the fact that the author picks one individual to follow around and in just a few pages we are introduce to who they are as a person and a quick but revealing back story. Although this is a zombie story there really isn't any zombie type action until close to the end. This is really more like "Where were you when the Zombie Apocalypse happened?" and then the story is over.
I think this author has a lot of potential and I did go and get a copy of the novel these stories are based on. There is also 2 or 3 chapters of "Don" at the end of this story to get you hooked (which I was). The descriptions of the characters, their surroundings, and the so-called meaningless activities they are engaged in are realistic and full, while not being overly wordy, and give depth and dimension to the story.
So why only 3.5 stars? There were some pretty significant spelling and grammar errors throughout. There weren't a ridiculous amount of individual errors but the errors that did occur were glaring (at least in my opinion). I would've enjoyed this story more if a closer eye had been paid to editing process. Also, I was not aware that only half of the length of the book on my Kindle device was this story. The other half were the first chapters of the book "Don of the Living Dead". I didn't mind that this was included because it did get me interested in the book, however, I already would've been prone to buy the book without the chapters included in the story. I've also actually read the other two short spin off stories and they all contain the same beginning of "Don". The description for this product already states it's based on the "Don" book so it really wasn't necessary to include it at all. It was a little off putting when you reach the 50% mark and the story is actually over.
As stated above, I do think this author has a lot of potential. Especially because I've read the other Primrose stories, which are all worth it and I enjoyed all of them. I just hope when I finally read the actual book there aren't the grammar and spelling errors.

Zombie Tales Primrose Court Apt 205 eBook Robert Decoteau Reviews
Very nice! I generally abhor short stories with a fiery, stinging passion and avoid them like I avoid that neighbor I can't stand who, when she stops to talk to you, you know you're in for AT LEAST an hour before you can claw your way away from her.
For those who are unaware, the "Zombie Tales" books are side stories to the author's Don of the Living Dead, which I believe is a full novel.
The concept of the "Zombie Tales" books, perspectives (in separate novellas) of different residents of an apartment building set in the Don world during an impending zombpocalypse was such a novel (heh, novel, I made a joke!) concept, that I overlooked my general dislike and decided to take a chance.
Not only was this very well written (some minor editing complaints, though), but it was surprisingly well done in so few pages.
Robert DeCoteau has written Theodore Granger very well as a paranoid, whiny, complainy, germophobic agoraphobe who has not been outside in ten years, honestly for understandable reasons.
So, of course, he WOULD pick the onset of a zombie apocalypse as his first venture out in ten years...
This is part of an interconnected series of short stories (the other two are Zombie Tales Primrose Court Apt. 305 and Zombie Tales Primrose Court Apt. 502). They don't have to be read in any particular order, as they tell the events of the day from the perspective of three different people who live in the same apartment building.
What is interesting about the stories is that the zombies appear relatively late in all three of them. This particular story was my least favorite, probably because the amount of backstory required hindered the forward momentum of the story and the main character didn't feel fully authentic. We are told that he is fearful of the outside world, but I never really felt it.
I am pretty sure I read some earlier stories by this author that are now no longer available on . If this is the case, he is developing quickly and I think he shows a lot of promise. One issue that will need to be addressed is the number of typos in these stories -- it is simply unacceptable (example we are told a character had "chicken pocks"). With some careful editing, I would gladly pay for the author's work. Truly character-driven zombie fiction is rare.
This book was short and full of errors.
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS***
Okay so this story is about the landlord/owner of the building and he's agoraphobic and a terrified of getting sick so he's constantly cleaning and taking safety precautions.
He's also convinced that every time he gets sick that someone close to him dies. His therapist convinces him to come out of his apartment and go meet him at Starbucks to to help address his agoraphobia. He goes outside and the zombie apocalypse ensues.
The story was an interesting concept, but it was too short and I don't think anyone proofread this story at all. There are grammatical and spelling mistakes all over the story. If the author had just taken their time with this and fixed these mistakes, and fleshed out the story a bit more, it could have really been good!

If you can get past the spelling mistakes and the grammar mistakes, then you may see that it's a good story.
