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.

Some good, some bad. 50/50 lucky dip

There are some golden nuggets of stories however I found the majority somewhat difficult to get behind. In particular the book starts with probably the most difficult story to understand which is told my a narrator who I genuinely could barely listen to…if It had not been for only just using my monthly credit on this book and also understanding “you should give things a chance”, I would have stopped the book then and there..despite wondering why they decided to open the book with this story about drug addicted survivors other some other more promising tales. Apart from the grating voices of some of the narrators most of the stories were interesting to listen to…apart from the one where the zombie “Jerry” was trying to work out how to ask a l zombie on a date which was awfully written and out of date

Very interesting…

The stories are too diverse in their own right that it’s hard to describe the stories as one. My two cents would be, it’s a good listen. Interesting take on zombies. I’m glad I purchased this book.
