Book Review By Tom Modern
Richmondtown by Tom Modern

Roy Hart, a 38-yr.-old ex-Manhattan professional assistant seeks some R&R from the city and decides to let a small apartment in Richmondtown on NYC's Staten Island. But he soon begins noticing unusual phenomenon there: ghost-like inhabitiants, strange green lights in the sky and Bigfoot creatures in the forestlands. On top of this, the sleepy hamlet begins having problems with vandals at night, who are eventually becoming sickly, murderous zombies. It is then learned that the city's water supply has become contaminated and is probably the source of the zombies. An "official" branch of the U.S. gov./intel come in to manage the situation, blockade and quarrantine the town and to deal with the last of the survivors...
