Smashwords book reviews by William Todd Rose

Dead Rising
on Jan. 11, 2012
Dead Rising is a tour de force of apocalyptic survival. After introducing us to the residents of a quaint American town, the author wastes no time setting events in motion that will bring it to its knees. And that's the key really. Hose hooks you with his characters and then reels you in with action, intrigue, and excitement. Dead Rising is a "must read" for any serious fan of zombie lit.

Blood Legacy
on Jan. 17, 2012
I'll admit I've been a fan of Hose's work for quite some time and Blood Legacy is a perfect example of why that is. Taking us from the fog-enshrouded streets of the 1800s Whitechapel District to a sanitarium in 1958, the author adds his own twist on Ripper lore… which can be a tricky undertaking. In the hands of a lesser wordsmith there is always the chance that fictional elements added to historical facts could come across as contrived and hokey. Hose, however, masterfully pulls off this feat in a manner that is as believable as believable as it is well written.
