The Risen: Margaret, A Zombie Apocalypse Story of Survival (Book 2)

The Risen: Margaret is the second book in The Risen series by author Marie F Crow. The author uses a descriptive writing style to paint the scenes and moods of the characters. She feels this style enhances the content delivering the story in true regard to her creative concept.

This is one of three short stories based on The Risen: Dawning. In this book the author details the day of the kindergarten student Margaret Erikson. This story provides the reader with the accounts of the school day that affected Margaret and her eventual meeting of Helena Hawthorn.

This is a complete story unto itself, but readers of The Risen: Dawning will discover how the two books complement each other.

The Risen: Margaret was an emotional story to write. I found it rather heart-breaking to tell the story of the innocent children on that morning. Trying to grasp the panic the teachers and staff must of felt as they watched the children suffer was not an easy world to explore. As stated in The Risen: Dawning, children are our precious packages that we protect and care for to the extent of our own lives. Seeing them transformed into monsters was not an easy ordeal. Were they the monsters or were they just the victims?

Synopsis:

"It's just a simple shot, right?"

Margaret Erikson will ask this question many times today. What is suppose to be a basic school wide vaccine will go horribly wrong. It is not a simple shot and the lives that are lost to it will not become simple monsters.

Comments from fans about Marie F Crow's zombie apocalypse series:

"FINALLY!!!!! A zombie story that I LIKE!!!!"

"Freakishly awesome!"

"From the beginning to the end...THIS is an amazing zombie apoc story."

"With zombie books, one of the greatest pleasures is to be able to get that chill up your spine as you embrace the apocalyptic chaos and atmosphere of death, destruction and despair. That is exactly what Crow does here, she paints the sublime with her words and in doing so creates a lovely and violent story where you can feel each chapter viscerally through her deep descriptions."

"With enthralling description and emotion that will have you clinging to the pages, Marie F Crow brings a different but equally terrifying new point of view to her 'The Risen' zombie series through the eyes of a young girl."

"Crow finds a way to make a zombie massacre beautiful. She writes both the good and the bad same way. She makes the beautiful, tragic at times, but beautiful none the less. She gives us zombies to fear, people to love, and a storyline to sink our teeth into, and that could sink its teeth into us! Margaret is no exception. This little novella was amazing. It has all the right ups and downs and was a perfect companion novel to The Risen: Dawning. Crow does an amazing job pulling us into the book, and taking us on this ride, but it doesn't guarantee a happy ending, it doesn't guarantee safety. You come on this ride knowing that you have no guarantees but you have an amazingly written story, amazing characters, and a very very good story."

"Marie F Crow will be a force to be reckoned with in the very near future, this I can already see..."

"Kudos to Marie F Crow for such a fantastic read!"
