The Crocodiles: 10/30/11

"The Crocodiles" by Steven Popkes is told with a clinical sterility until the very end when the true horror of what was done is revealed.

The Crocodiles are a special force of Nazis meant to tip their hand in war. They are like the creations coming out of Lab 5 in Fullmetal Alchemist. Both of course are sadly drawn on the actual experimentation that was done under the Nazi regime.

Here though the most simple way to sum up the story is "Nazi zombies." Undead creations though can't be controlled and one of the scientist behind their creation learns that the hard way.

"The Crocodiles" is a perfect Halloween short story, especially for zombie fans.

Five stars.
