Got a decent review for Dead Beat in Gorezone Magazine today;

‘Old people smell like mould.’ Can’t go wrong with an opening sentence like that. Dead Beat gives a few clues away in its title. Yes there’s a cop. Yes there’s an end-of-the-world zombie Armageddon scenario. Dead Beat takes a few liberties ...with tired conventions (hints of conspiracy there are in places) in what is essentially yet another first-person book-long description of zombie Armageddon. Remy Porter writes at a brisk pace, with enough command of characterisation to make us warm to the characters. There’s a lively wit to his style, even though when it comes to the horror there’s little here that will make your skin crawl. Dead Beat is a ‘seen it, done it’ title, but zombie fans will find it far better than most examples of its kind.

Dead Beat has been doing brilliantly on Amazon UK kindles. It was upto 92 in the rankings this morning, (3rd in horror!)

Good recent review by Gregory Solis, author of Rise and Walk;

'The story and characters were top notch. Like another great Zombie author, Joe McKinney, Porter works in Law Enforcement. His real-life experience is evident in his portrayal of the Policeman protagonist. I found his characterization of Johnny, the Officer, to be very believable. He was tough but not superhuman. He's just a man trying to keep some order during the flesh-eating apocalypse. The villain of the work is a bastard of the first order. Porter does a great job at giving us an antagonist, and his provincial prick of a son, that the reader will quickly hate. This book is paced well, has the gore that zombie fans will love, and includes some really creepy scenes. I highly recommend Dead Beat.'

I just picked this up...Really good read for fans of Zombie films...It goes all the way up to and includes Land of the Dead and even features that awesome poster for Tobe Hoopers Zombies.

Great analysis of a lot of zombie films. Theres definitely a few movies Im going to check out thanks to this book.

Highly recommended.
