This book scared the pants off me because the way big corporations set policy today is the best set up for what happens in this excellent novel. Souza spins this story in real time, not missing a beat, and has the talent to create relatable characters. This is a story that everyone should read.

I love starting the new year off with a great book, and 2015 was not a let-down. Zombie-saurus Rex is an exciting YA book that consists of all the elements for a top-notch read: romance, humor, and tragedy, to begin with. Rex Morgan is just your average junior in high school who loves playing football and aspires to be an engineer, minus being "average." Rex is a zombie who is sensitive, kind, and caring, hardly the monster that the people in his new high school fear he is. He longs for acceptance and inclusion, hoping that each move will be his last. When Rex meets Ariella, the loner Goth chick at Plain View High School, he finds his reason to stay put. The federal government, however, has other plans, which include ridding the US of those infected with the Z-virus. Risking detainment in a zombie internment camp, Rex refuses to run.
Author Mark Souza does an exceptional job turning what could've been "just another zombie book" into an original young adult novel. As someone who has been bullied for being "different," I found myself relating to Rex, and I am confident that others will as well. Readers who enjoyed Patrick Frievald's Twice Shy will want to get their hands on this book ASAP. It is the first book I've read by Souza but it will definitely not be the last.

The stories here vary widely in genre and topic. Some stories are intense and provoke thought. Some are weirdly wonderful. Others are the creeping under your skin kind of strange. All share Mark Souza's gift for looking at the world and coming up with a new way of seeing what's in front of us.
