Awesome read once more from Jonathan and I am only at page 30 or something. To me a good read is when I can't wait to start reading again. Pick it up during lunch at work or go to bed early without watching TV and just read till my wife starts nagging that I have to put out my bedlight because she wants to sleep. I am off to bed now with Benny and friends and I already have a feeling that I need to pick up some flowers for my wife tomorrow. :-) Thanks for your great stories and keep 'm coming!

They are better than vampyers or werewolves! Rot and Ruin and Dust and Decay are AMAZING! I am hoping you have another book to them! I don't know the ending yet so I don't even know if you have left room for another book! I hope so! I am seriously going to get Patient Zero and now I am seeing the new book Dead of Night and I will grab that one too! I am excited to read them and I can't wait to see how Dust and Decay ends! Keep writing and good luck on any new material! I don't know if this posted. So I'm sorry if this message posts multiple times. =/ I love zombies! They are better than vampyers or werewolves!

I said it once and I will say it again. You are absolutey BRILLIANT! I read Patient Zero not too long ago and it was absolutely awesome! I loved every page of it. By the way, this novel would make a GREAT movie. I just finished up Ghost Road Blues and it's KILLING me because I can't get through Bad Moon Rising fast enough! Keep up the GREAT work!

An absolute humdinger of a novel from start to finish, and some of those scenes will stay in the memory for a long time. Ledger and his team's first fire-fight just caught that feeling of a crew of highly trained individuals being caught in the most terrifyingly chaotic situation, and still managing to keep their heads. Can't wait for the next volume...although I understand it's about a year in coming. There must be something in the name Joe which just lends itself to great characters - Strummer, Calzaghe, and now Ledger.

I would like to thank you for switching up your editor (or for providing him with new software). My father had corresponded with you regarding this matter and it's nice to know that, as an author, you respect your fans. I have followed all of your fictional work since Ghost Road Blues and will continue to do so, it is my opinion that modern authors have very little "style", something you have in abundance. Distinguishing Pullman from Rowling has even become difficult, while recognizing a Maberry piece is easier than comprehending gravity. The manner in which you present your lead is flawless, first with Crow in Ghost Road and now Ledger in Patient Zero. I hope you keep turning that wheel as I would definitely like to see more of Joe, and as a writer myself, would dig a few casual Pine Deep references in your work (here's me hoping!). Thanks again, Blake Drost Jon,

Ha, just kidding, thought I'd scare you a bit. It's a fun read, and I keep it in the bathroom to help scare the crap out of me. I look forward to picking up your newest this weekend...

Crow knows or at least suspects that the kid is regularly beaten by his stepfather. When another kid, Barney, tells Crow that he witnessed Vic using his fists to first gut-punch Mike, then sling him so hard into the backseat of the car that the kid smashes into the opposite door. Mike is fourteen years old. I know that Vic is scarey and connected around town, etc but stil... Crow barely reacts beyond idle speculation as to whether he would win in a fight with Vic . In fact, a few lines later, Crow's thoughts are on the the nice late dinner his girlfriend is making for him that night. Maybe I'm expecting too much from an otherwise highly entertaining story (after all, it is a story, and I probably sound picky here.) Maybe it's because there was a step-ogre much like Vic polluting my own childhood for about six years. At any rate, it knocked me out of the story for a bit. (But not for good, mind you - I'm already looking forward to the next one!) Yours, M Bish I really enjoyed Ghost Road Blues with one exception; the lack of response from our hero concerning Mike.
