The short story focuses on their more focused efforts to perfect the serum with both obvious insecurities and a constant need to keep everything quiet. several elements of the story, one through six in the chapters, are quite well done with the sense that you almost NEVER need to even see what's coming to imagine what's going on, mostly because the story is filled with sounds just hinting at what could be behind the next door, or under the sheet, or even the rejects thrown to the wind! I say go back and read it again, just because it's good. Most people don't agree with that but I love the story. No crappy college roommate element or some dean of medicine shit with zombie oral, but good old fashioned Frankenstein control of life gone Lovecraft. Also, they surround death like flies; once it's plague season and near the end they're in war, using fallen soldiers and severed limbs being reanimated without bodies, whereas the movie jumps that progression, which while understandable kinda kills the character development for west... I love his insanity.

Sorry for ranting.
