Zombies

The Recent Dead

By: Neil Gaiman, Max Brooks, Brian Keene, Tobias S. Buckell, Kelly Link, Tim Lebbon, Kit Reed

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis, L J Ganser, Josh Hurley, Bahni Turpin, Marc Vietor

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.

Not Happy

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

If you don't like short stories, don't buy this on

Would you try another book from the authors and/or the narrators?

Some of the stories were good and from those I would try another book.

What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Short stories are not really my "thing"

Which scene was your favorite?

No one scene

What character would you cut from Zombies?

N/A

Any additional comments?

nope

ummm

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

Not Realy Zombie storys

The storys were ok.... some of them... but some of them weren't realy Zombie storys they had very little to do with zombies my advice get world war Z with your credit it is much better

Not a fan.

there's a couple.of stories that are really really good. the rest of them did not really hold my interest.
