Vacation Reviews!
Vacation has just been out for just a few and has gotten great reviews. A sampling:
"Costello offers a terrifying view into a dystopian future and a perhaps even more frightening look at the baser side of humanity. The cracking pace makes this a perfect choice for horror fans who want to be kept up late reading."
ALA’s Booklist
“Patrolman Jack Murphy, forced to leave a besieged New York City where he battles feral cannibals, gathers his family and heads for the hills in this tense apocalyptic thriller."
Publisher’s Weekly
“Costello knows how to keep a story moving, and his sparse, punchy style gives the writing urgency. Quickly paced and tightly written, VACATION maintains suspense. The characters are (excuse the pun) well-fleshed-out and the creatures frightening, as far as flesh-eating mutants go. In VACATION, Costello manages to wring life from an already overworked undead.“
Fangoria
“Welcome to Paterville! Family getaway for all, away from it all. In this “anti-zombie” tale from master storyteller Matt Costello, the future isn’t very bright. In fact, his so-called “vacation” turns out to be anything but relaxing; thankfully, readers benefit plenty from his near future hell. Costello has yet to pen a bad novel, from Wurm to Homecoming to Nowhere. After succeeding in videogame battelgrounds (Rage & 7th Guest fame), he returns to a very familiar haunt."
Dave Simms - Horrorworld
“Readers will think trice about vacationing in idyllic rural areas as Jack and his family learns that Paterville has a nasty side under the glitter of a Vacation oasis as it is the Eagles Hotel California with a gruesome addition. This is a gripping post apocalyptic horror thriller.”
