Customer Reviews

Remarkable Collection.
This is a highly unusual collection of horror. At least a couple of the stories in the collection: "A Sad Last Love At The Diner Of The Damned" and "Across The Cadillac Desert With Dead People", are cult classics. The rest are at least well written and interesting. This is, however, out of print and somewhat hard to find. Also, beware, it is an extremely graphic and gory collection in terms of horrific, and sometimes sexual, content.

You Won't Be Able To Put It Down
If you've enjoyed Romero's Living Dead movies, you'll want to read this. Some of the stories are good and the rest are great. I picked this up and went cover to cover in 3 days. Gore and more and you won't be sore.

Zombies and gore galore!
This anthology is based on the work of George R. Romero, the creator of the Night of the Living Dead trilogy. Romero's work is known for being larger than life or death and gory, and this novel can rival it in every way. Many of the stories presented in this anthology are wonderful, new, and original in every way. There are some takes on the `Living Dead' mythos that many of us haven't thought of before, such as love among Zombies, being the last few survivors, etc.

A list of the stories and authors are:
Blossom by Chan McConnell
Mess Hall by Richard Laymon
It Helps if You Sing by Ramsey Campbell
Home Delivery by Steven King
Wet Work by Philip Nutman
A Sad Last Love at the Diner of the Damned by Edward Bryant
Bodies and Heads by Steve Rasnic Tem
Choices by Glen Vasey
The Good Parts by Les Daniels
Less Than Zombie by Douglas E. Winter
Like Pavlov's Dogs by Steven R. Boyett
Saxophone by Nicholas Royle
On the Far Side of the Cadillac Desert With Dead Folks by Joe R. Lansdale
Dead Giveaway by Brian Hodge
Jerry's Kids Meet Wormboy by David J. Schow
Eat Me by Robert R. McCammon

I highly recommend this book to all horror fans, fans of George R. Romero, and Zombie flick fans. It is a MUST have for Night of Living Dead fans. The only reason that it gets 4 stars and not 5 is that Choices is unnecessarily long, boring and convoluted. It detracts from the overall anthology, but if you skip it and read the rest you will be very pleased!
