Grabbed the paperback to give a go, as this is perfect for Spooky Season. 
Reyes delivers exactly what his blurb promises. UFOs, a monsoon-style rain, and zombies covered in mutated eyes. The zombies seem to have been created by the UFOs, but they still act, eat, and spread like a normal apocalypse zombie. The story centers around Jeff, a drug dealer, which may speak to some of his zombie-fighting mettle, but I did find his concern for others to be a bit surprising given his dangerous profession. 
The story is short, easy to read, gruesome, but a lot of fun. The eye covered zombies adds an additional layer of creepy as well as some incredibly gross descriptions. I like that the story features the backyard hopping, house ransacking tropes even though the outbreak is so fresh. Plus a quick soda break. Personally a 3.5/5*
