Pretty good, it kind of lost it's luster towards the end. If you have never been worried about how many maggots are in your socks then you probably wouldn't understand.

BREATHERS was an impulse Amazon buy, recommended when I purchased a separate zombie anthology. I don't usually give in to impulse buys (I have too many must-haves on my reading list as it is), but I'm so glad I decided to give into this one!
