Publisher's summary
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.
Evidently, we have an enduring hunger for this infinite onslaught of the ever-hungry dead. Hoards of readers and listeners are now devouring zombie fiction faster than armies of the undead could chow down their brains. It's a sick job, but somebody had to do it: explore the innumerable necrotic nightmares of the latest, greatest, most fervent devotion in the history of humankind and ferret out the best of new millenial zombie stories: Zombies: The Recent Dead.

Story
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.

And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

When the black rain began to fall, it was a worldwide phenomenon that mystified everyone. There was little time to ponder the cause. Most animals died at the onset. While some humans were unaffected, others experienced a half-death of sorts, morphing into blood and flesh-crazed creatures with a desire to hunt the living. Climbing Fox Wattana of the Henomawi Nation claims responsibility for the black rain; he says it will will ensure the ultimate extinction of the United States government as revenge for robbing his people of their land.

Story
From the Book of Revelation to The Road Warrior, from A Canticle for Leibowitz to The Road, storytellers have long imagined the end of the world, weaving eschatological tales of catastrophe, chaos, and calamity. In doing so, these visionary authors have addressed one of the most challenging and enduring themes of imaginative fiction: The nature of life in the aftermath of total societal collapse.

Not all zombies stories are fun to listen to.
Would you try another book from the authors and/or the narrators?
Since this book has several authors. I would look for addition books on the authors I liked and stay away from the one I did not liked.
What was most disappointing about the authors’s story?
Several stories were too silly and not interesting to listen to.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
All narrators brought the books alive. Too bad half the stories suck!
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Zombies?
Not into supernatural were you need to go demonic to make your book beliveible.
Any additional comments?
I was suckered to buy this auible because it had Max Brooks name on it.

Not Happy
I don't like short stories. Short stories made to look like a novel. Someone different reading each story.

Good collection of Zombie Stories
Overall I really enjoyed the collection of stories. I found myself stopping what I was doing and just listening to the story. Many of the stories were very well done and brought something a little different to the idea of zombies, I will admit that several I was disappointed with how the story did not seem as much to finish as just stop. They felt incomplete, like the author ran out of time or ideas to move the story along.

It was good, but could have been better
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I would have taken out some of the stories as to me they didn't seem to mesh well with the zombie setting. I would have added in some more gory stories. Some of the stories just weren't very "scary" or gut-wrenching enough to be called a "Zombie tale."
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would have made sure my zombie anthology had the grittiest and darkest stories possible. More gore, more things that make sense in a zombie setting.
Any additional comments?
I liked it somewhat, but I felt bored during a few of them. Some of the stories had no real action and some were just bizarre. I think in a zombie anthology we should be sticking to what zombies are about: meat and brains. Yes that might seem cookie cutter, but you have to have the proper elements of that type of zombie fiction.

Some of these stories are good. Some are great. Some are like attending a script reading of Clerks while tripping on acid.
