Ever wonder what The Postman would be like with less David Brin (or Kevin Costner) and more Zombies (i.e., any)? Well, wonder no longer, because “The Last Mailman: Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Zombies” by Kevin Burke mixes post-apocalyptic mail service with Zombie scaremongering: Four-year degree in business.
