Zombies Galore

Zombies - have they had their day? Is it time to put the dead to rest? Hell no. Zombies have been shambling about since H.P. Lovecraft and they're still eagerly shambling about now. Yes they can be done badly. Even the Godfather of Zombies George A Romero can get it wrong - take Survival of the Dead (2009) - the Oirish-infused Zombiefest that isn't a good example of the great man's work. But when it's done right - the original Dawn of the Dead (1978) the Zack Snyder remake, the comedic Shaun of the Dead with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and the recent mega-budget, mega-hyped World War Z. - it can be damned effective. For whatever reason, your guess is as good as mine, zombies have stayed in the hearts and minds of horror fans the world over. So, what do we love above zombies? Brains, gore, biting, fighting and more brains! So to tickle your taste buds, editor Tim McLean has compiled sixteen tales of zombie goodness. From the entrée Monday Matinee Madness by H. G. Bleackley to the grand finale Hungry by Nicci Murphy, this collection of zombie stories will leave you slavering - and literally hungry for more.
