RESURRECTION!
The hungry dead have risen. They shamble down the street. They hide in back yards, car lots, and shopping malls. They devour neighbors, dogs and police officers. And they are here to stay. The real question is, what are you going to do about it? How will you survive?
HOW WILL THE WORLD CHANGE WHEN THE DEAD BEGIN TO RISE?
Stoker-award-winning author Christopher Golden has assembled an original anthology of never-before-published zombie stories from an eclectic array of today's hottest writers. Inside there are stories about military might in the wake of an outbreak, survival in a wasted wasteland, the ardor of falling in love with a zombie, and a family outing at the circus. Here is a collection of new views on death and resurrection.
With stories from Joe Hill, John Connolly, Max Brooks, Kelley Armstrong, Tad Williams, David Wellington, David Liss, Aimee Bender, Jonathan Maberry, and many others, this is a wildly diverse and entertaining collection...the Last Word on the New Dead.
My thoughts
I can say I have had my fill of zombies for the time being. And this collection of zombie short stories fills it to the brim. I found THE NEW DEAD; an assortment of zombie themed stories very interesting. Each varied from the ordinary, slow moving, flesh eating, undead walking the earth type of tale. My favorite was “Family Business” by Jonathan Maberry. I thought I wouldn’t get into the twitter story of the family on vacation and going to the circus, but “Twittering from the Circus of the Dead” by Joe Hill was entertaining; even if I don’t tweet. There were others that didn’t quite grab my interest. Overall, though, this anthology seems to hit the mark.
Note: this book was borrowed from my local library.
