Loved it. Extremely wild and crazy ride all the way through. Sad in parts and pretty funny in others. All and all an enjoyable book for sure.
If this is your first Jack Ketchum I suppose this would be "shocking" but since this was wrote in the eighties it is MILD compared to the horror books available today, almost boring. All the women have gone mad and are killing men and children. Reads like a typical zombie/end of the world type survival book. Nothing too extreme nor graphic. Reading it you won't even associate it with Jack Ketchum based on his more recent works. It is something to read and a decent book to wait for on a wish list but nothing I would pay money for.

I read a couple of other Jack Ketchum novels a few years ago. This one had been sitting on my shelves for over 10 years so finally got around to reading it. The story was reminiscent of Richard Laymon's novels that I usually enjoy even though they are basically mindless gore fests filled with blood and sex. This one was in that vein. The story took place in NYC where a spill from a tanker truck unleashed a chemical that only affected women and turned them into savage lustful killing machines! The whole story takes place during one night and was full of the usual gore as the zombie women unleashed their fury on the men of New York. Basically, this too was a mindless story that could be read in a few hours with not too much to recommend it!
