Danger Word


                I found the "zombies" in Danger Word to be very strange because my perception of what is a zombie does not match with the characteristics of the monsters in the story.  The monsters in  the story are almost 'normal' enough to  pass for a living, non-crazed person which is something that my definition of a zombie lacks.  I feel that you should be able to tell from a distance if the person is a zombie instead of finding out at the last minute.  I feel that this difference gives the monsters in Danger Word a more dangerous and personal connection.  If the characters cannot tell the difference, then it feels like the attacks are more human-on-human which is something that is not new to society.  I feel like the monsters in Danger Word are normal humans meant to show how everyone can be monsters.
