It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over

4.5 rounded up;

I continue west. I know you will not be there in the dunes. Except I will be there. I will be there and through me you will be there. I think, if I am in the place where we were together, then we are together again.

Our undead narrator navigates her journey between life and death, aiming for a place she recalls, despite the hiccups and challenges in between. With the first line being “I lost my left arm today,” perhaps it can be taken comically or shocking. But as we follow her travels, we realize that she is reminiscent of the life she once lived, the places she's been, the memories with her lover that leads her west.

It is not so much of a zombie book, but an individual's journey who searches for meaning, navigating yearning and existence.
