The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of 30 million souls, to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet.

You can't kill the dead! Like any good monster, the zombie has proven to be ever-evolving, monumentally mutable, and open to seemingly endless imaginative interpretations: the thralls of voodoo sorcerers, George Romero's living dead, societal symbols, dancing thrillers, viral victims, reanimated ramblers, video-gaming targets, post-apocalyptic permutations, shuffling sidekicks, literary mash-ups, the comedic, and, yes, even the romantic.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 90
It's been twelve years since the undead hordes swept over the earth forcing mankind to the brink of extinction. We now live like rats, scavenging in the ruins of our fallen civilization as the dead hunt us night and day. There is little left to scavenge, however. Grocery stores were emptied ages ago, gas tanks have long been dry and bullets are so precious that a man is lucky to have two to his name. Still, we survive. But for how much longer? Instinct and love have combined to turn Darwin's theory on its head. The strongest didn't survive in this world. They were the first to die, leaving behind a generation of orphans. It's a generation that's never had a full belly. It's a generation that has no idea what an Xbox did, or what algebra is for. It's a generation of children who never laugh out loud, and who have learned to cry softly because the dead are always near and the dead are always so very, very hungry.

What would happen if a viral agent was released on American soil? How would local agencies react? How would the military respond? What if it was one of their own? Would they own it or attempt to cover it up? If a major operation was jeopardized because of the release, would that alter any of the decisions? A potent viral agent, created to destabilize a region for forces to move in and clean up, is accidentally spilled in a metropolis. Those infected serve only to afflict others through any means.

What if anything you wrote became true? When an angry dwarf at a traveling carnival promises Roger something that could change his life, he never thought it would come in the form of a magic pen. Now, anything the introverted college student writes becomes true, and with its power, he'll finally be able to take revenge on the bullies who have tormented him. There's just one problem. A group of assassins will do anything to get the pen, he accidentally made a entire squad of dancers into slaves, and his best friend somehow got an all-powerful mech. Maybe that's three problems....

Wandering aimlessly through the remains of the old world as a plague of zombies sweeps over the planet? Check.

The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

Underwhelmed
There I was thinking that this would be a great companion to world war Z. But alas it is not. The major story is not a zombie one but vampire. Another story seemed to end halfway through. Very strange. Please don't waste your money on this if you think you're going to have something of world war z quality.

More More More!
Would you consider the audio edition of Closure, Limited and Other Zombie Tales to be better than the print version?
Never read the print version.
What other book might you compare Closure, Limited and Other Zombie Tales to and why?
This book helps to ease the pain of finishing World War Z. It really gives you that little bit you need to keep going.
Which character – as performed by Christopher Ragland – was your favorite?
There is this Asian Female (Spoiler) Vampire who he does this great girly voice for. It's funny, but he still keeps you in the story.
If you could take any character from Closure, Limited and Other Zombie Tales out to dinner, who would it be and why?
The poor guy stuck in his bathroom.
Any additional comments?
This book was a great listen and just like World War Z brought to light some details of a zombie apocalypse you may not have ever thought of. I really hope Mr Brooks keeps on writing in the WWZ Universe.

Took a bit to get into, more World War Z
Took a while to get into. once you do its more of the same stories you loved from WWZ. Is it worth the price point at just 2 hours? probably not. But the book itself is well written and we'll narrated.
It's more World War Z

Fun listen but....
What did you like best about Closure, Limited and Other Zombie Tales? What did you like least?
I enjoyed the increase in the breath given by the short stories.
If you’ve listened to books by Max Brooks before, how does this one compare?
I love world war Z and this was good and "Closure" was very poignant would have to say "Vampires" Really? not keen in a zombie franchise.
