Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth!"
From White Zombie to Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil to World War Z, zombies have invaded popular culture, becoming the monsters that best express the fears and anxieties of the modern west. Gathering together the best zombie literature of the last three decades from many of today's most renowned authors of fantasy, speculative fiction, and horror, including Stephen King, Harlan Ellison, Robert Silverberg, George R. R. Martin, Clive Barker, Poppy Z. Brite, Neil Gaiman, Joe Hill, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Joe R. Lansdale, The Living Dead covers the broad spectrum of zombie fiction. Review:"Recently prolific anthologist Adams (Seeds of Change) delivers a superb reprint anthology that runs the gamut of zombie stories. There's plenty of gore, highlighted by Stephen King's 'Home Delivery' and David Schow's classic 'Blossom.' Less traditional but equally satisfying are Lisa Morton's 'Sparks Fly Upward,' which analyzes abortion politics in a zombified world, and Douglas Winter's literary pastiche 'Less than Zombie.' Also outstanding, Kelly Link's 'Some Zombie Contingency Plans' and Hannah Wolf Bowen's 'Everything Is Better with Zombies' take similar themes in wildly different directions. Neil Gaiman's impeccably crafted 'Bitter Grounds' offers a change of pace with traditional Caribbean zombies. The sole original contribution, John Langan's 'How the Day Runs Down,' is a darkly amusing twist on Thornton Wilder's Our Town. There's some great storytelling for zombie fans as well as newcomers." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Review:"Adams does a remarkable job of collecting a sampling of variations on this theme....Highly recommended." Library Journal (Starred Review) Review:"A collection of short zombie stories from some of the greatest horror writers of all time." Sacramento Book Review Review:"It's hard to find fault in almost five hundred pages of zombie stories." Realms of Fantasy Synopsis:From Dawn of the Dead to World War Z, zombies have invaded popular culture, becoming the monsters that best express the fears and anxieties of the modern west. Many of today's most renowned authors of fantasy, speculative fiction, and horror are highlighted in this chilling new anthology.
