This is the second book I've read by this author and I enjoyed it immensely. It had a great scare factor and was just long enough to keep me turning the page in one sitting. Angel is a funny, resourceful character that makes you root for him throughout the story. If you're looking for a quick read that will have you looking under your bed before you go to sleep then this book is for you.
It had very minor editing errors, but nothing that would distract you from the story and definitely nothing I haven't seen from authors in the past. All in all, I enjoyed it and am sleeping with the lights on tonight.
Those who have already read some of Angel Ramon's work (The Thousand Years War: The Trilogy and Janus: The Devil's Election) will undoubtedly expect in Angel's Nightmare Adventure short story the same amount of action and monster-mutants creatures. And they will be right. Angel invaded New York City with zombies and mutant-iguana-snake-spider-and-human-like creatures that crawled out of the Hybrid Corporation laboratories.
Angel's Nightmare Adventure is a story told from two different perspectives so it rather seems as two stories instead of one. The first part is about a teenager Angel who is getting ready for an oral operation and ends up in the hospital where he is chased by zombies and other nightmarish creatures, while the second part is about Louis, an NYPD officer who is stuck in a mansion in his search for survivors.
It is interesting to see how the author merges these two stories into one and, what I like in particular, a surprising end at the moment we think we figured it all out!
I would prefer that the author built the whole nightmare adventure on the zombies only, but monster-mutant-like creatures worked too in this laboratory induced combination of characters. This way the lovers of zombie and horror stories will both have their moments of pleasure and needed dozes of scare!

Angel's Nightmare Adventure seriously wowed me. The two part story has everything a book needs to captivate and thrill the reader. Zombies and monsters, added just the right amount of horror, and I found myself seriously rooting for the characters survivals. I love the dynamic of the two versions of the story, it kept me excited and wanting more. Angel Ramon did a great job.
