Synopsis:

Preliminary reviews for Paroxysm:
 
First of all, many of you are probably asking: Who in East Hell is Gremlin?
There is no easy answer. Gremlin is one half Douglas Adams, one half Stephen King, one half Kurt Vonnegut, one half Chuck Palahniuk, one half Dave Barry, one half HP Lovecraft, one half Deity, one half non-existent deity, one half Harry Knowles, one half Kevin Smith, one half James Randi and three-fifths Oligarch of the universe.
This staggering amount, approximately 610%, is only fitting for someone bigger than life, which is Gremlin to a T.
Gremlin is a little-known (sorry, Grem) Denver and DuhMoines based novelist who has been quietly churning out some of the most entertaining novels ever written on this side of Sector 97.
This book is the Zombie horror novel for people who REALLY LOVE Zombie horror novels. It is also the Zombie horror novel for people who REALLY HATE Zombie horror novels. For the other 863% of us, it's just a damned entertaining read. In fact, I was so absorbed by this novel that I completely failed my statistics class! --'Ford Prefect', Mesa, Arizona
 
"Paroxysm", by Gremlin, is not for the faint of heart. It's bloody, intense, and detailed. It ranges from a paleontological dig in Antarctica to Des Moines, Iowa; from a zombie fansite webmistress to a British professional killer. And oh, man, is it good.
Gremlin is aptly named: He'll get into your psyche, nestle himself down comfortably between a few primal fears, and set to work tearing down your carefully-constructed walls against anxiety. When he's finished, you'll be keeping the lights on in your house too. And that's just from the preview - 119 pages replete with paleontology, foreshadowy bliss, dinosaurs and well-thought-out character development. Oh. And zombies.
Yeah. This is a book about the end of the world as we know it - and Gremlin uses zombies to do it. Thing is, these zombies are all too possible - which makes them triply terrifying. "28 Days Later" scared me, but it was the leap-out-of-your-seat-at-the-boo variety of shocker. This has a measured pace. It's stately and elegant and has the same feel as an anticipated car wreck.
It's a solid story. Buy it. Read it. Enjoy it - and then make sure your electricity bill is paid in full. This is not a book you want to read before being plunged into darkness.--Rowan Crisp, RowanCrisp.com
