Killer Kudzu is a pre-apocalyptic, semi-horror novel where science has gone terribly wrong. There is a southern twang in the characters voices and a distinctive down-home feel in the locale.

It is written with a social twist and a

commentary about the relationship between blacks and whites in the south.

Killer Kudzu is in the vain of the

creeping menace like Pandemic, The Atlantic Gene, The Hot Zone and The Day of

the Triffids.

KILLER KUDZU, written by JULIUS THOMPSON, is a fast-paced horror fest about what might happen if two bumbling scientists, Chuck and John, play around with gene splicing with no thought to consequences, other than perhaps making a name for themselves.

Julius has accomplished what many writers struggle with, painting a vivid word picture, creating a different masterpiece with each chapter. One goal of a good writer is to make the reader feel he or she is part of the action, in the story like the proverbial fly on the wall. I was sitting at the back table when everyone was talking about the kudzu in the local diner. I stood behind Grandma Peters several times when she let people know she wasn't afraid of anything, not even a killer plant.
