The only word I can think of to describe Walkers is fun; the concept, characters, and plot are just a joy to read and whilst the book firmly resides in the horror genre, readers who like their fiction a little less gory will definitely have a good time with this one.
Despite a somewhat misleading title which lends itself towards the walking dead/zombies, Walkers is about a bunch of criminally insane patients who disappear one day from a now long abandoned asylum - only they didn't leave the premises, rather, these bunch of violent crazies hid beneath the floor's surface and within the very walls of the asylum they called their home/prison - pretty cool if you ask me.
The plot centers around Jack Reed, a businessman who wants to convert said derelict asylum into a country club/resort; the only problem is - there's, you know, criminally insane people LIVING SIDE THE WALLS! Naturally things go pear shaped when he, his young son, and semi-mistress go looking at the property and in no time, the horrors of the haunted become all too real for Jack.
I don't really need to write anymore about this book - if you see it in a used bookstore, don't think twice - buy the damned thing and enjoy.
