Path of the Dead Hungry Ghosts Volume 1 Timothy Baker 9780991360581 Books

It took me a chapter or so to really warm up to this one, but once I was in, I was IN. I love a good zombie book, but there's a lot of stuff out there and it's tough to find z-novels that stand out from the rest of the slobbering herd. Buddhist monks taking on the apocalypse in the Far East, though...THAT fits the bill completely. The high degree of detail in the novel makes it clear from the get-go that a lot of research went into its writing and, sure enough, when I got to the author bio at the end, Baker himself is a Buddhist, despite being a Westerner. This was an excellent debut novel and I'll be buying the sequel the day it drops.

Path of the Dead Hungry Ghosts Volume 1 Timothy Baker 9780991360581 Books Reviews

So Timothy Baker is a new author to me, his little bio’ states that he has a few short stories out in anthologies but this is his first novel. Judging by this book I really look forward to seeking out his other stories and will be on his mailing list for further novels.

I always enjoy the dedications at the start of books and am glad to see the indie authors/small publishing houses acknowledge all the input and inspirations.

There is a fluidity in the opening paragraphs that really adds to the dream sequence that opens up the book. Early on we are introduced to the main characters of the Monk Dorje and child Chodren; later as more characters arrive we get to know them through their actions more than any back story, it’s certainly a good way of not getting bogged down in characters and it allows the story to flow more freely in the present. The characters are believable and not always likeable.

Each chapter is brilliant at building a little tension, giving a little more information and then ending you on a knife edge, this kept it easy to read yet made me keen to keep going.

The story up until the first zombie bite is so calming and gentle with its lilting story telling that it is quite and shock and as the spray of arterial blood splashes against the walls I was jolted wide awake. What is basically a group of people trying to survive the start of the zompoc is given a new twisted edge by its setting backed up by some beautiful writing which really sets of the scenes.

I adored the little frog hero story, when you get there you will understand.
There are elements of religion but I found them “enlightening” and not at all preaching or trying to convey a message. The facts and research seemed very truthful to my limited knowledge of the area, culture and religion, thereby adding not distracting from the story in anyway.

Even the death of the animals (which I hate in books, yes its fiction but if it’s good it’s REAL) was softened by the overall flavor of this book, Zompoc meets Crouching Tiger, face munching with a spiritual feel! Fantastic.

The ending really tied up well, leaving it open for further instalments but actually felt complete on its own.

There was the odd misplaced word such as trial instead of trail but otherwise good. For a first novel, albeit a shortish one, this was really rather good. The basic writing skill and style is there, I do hope that TB has lots of ideas up his (robed) sleeves.
Im not a fan of the zombie apocolypse BUT loved it and couldnt put it down the last couple of hours. Tim Baker... Write more
To begin with, I am not typically a fan of horror at all. However, I do love a good, thought provoking tale. Before I got through the first 2 Chapters I was captivated. A horrific journey seen through the eyes of a child and a deeply spiritual individual....not your ordinary sort of adventure. As I neared the end of this fast paced, yet insightful adventure, I found myself wanting more pages to turn. Read this book, and like me, you will be glad you did, and also anxiously await Book 2.
I don't suppose I am really qualified to say this is the best zombie apocalypse ever. I'm not a connoisseur of zombie novels, i think I've only read one other to be honest. But I have read a fair sampling of science fiction, urban gothic, speculative fiction and fantasy. So, this being my review, I can say what I like. And I really liked this book. It had excellent pacing, endearing characters, some really enchanting imagery and just a smidgen of philosophical discourse. It also had ravenous zombies, edge of your seat suspense and more detailed gore than I am comfortable with. Can't wait for the next one!
Zombies have evolved for some time now, and it seemed the evolution had halted in perspective. Always ravenous always slow always bloody and set in the some post apocalyptic city framework. Path of the Dead is so much more. A flowing combination of perspectives from different characters that add value to the developing story line. This fresh spiritual perspective is meat for the soul. Good job Tim! And if you ever stop writing, I will hunt you down. Thanks for an awesome book!
