Readers Thoughts

"What hits me immediately is that this doesn't read like a 'zombie story' at all, it reads like survival fiction pushed to its most dangerous edge. The fact that you've stripped away the cliches of bunkers and cheap gore and instead delivered a world where catastrophe feels vivid is what makes it stand out. It feels less like escapism and more like staring into a mirror of what could be. I have to ask, when you wrote An English Apocalypse, were you consciously aiming to reinvent the genre, or did the raw urgency of the story pull you there?"

"Tumulus by Paul J.C. Edge is a sharply written, high-concept science fiction novel with a bleak, but somehow believable, future. The depiction of the Xaal as energy-based beings with a metaphorical vampiric edge is inventive, and I think it's such a brilliantly horrible species.  The settings are harsh and unforgiving, yet never feel forced, and the post-apocalyptic world is presented with grit. Kevin’s emotional and physical vulnerability, despite his powers, is one of the book’s most effective elements, grounding the story in a way that feels earned. Altogether, this is science fiction at its best!"
