*Starred Review* The zombie genre rarely departs from the classic setup: living versus dead in a fight for survival. The latest Zombie Tales collection, however, is a terrific platform for the genre, in which multiple artists and writers explore it from different angles, breathing new life into the same old story. While just about every entry is worthwhile, some are outstanding. Among the best are Joe R. Lansdale’s “The War at Home,” a three-parter that reads like an action-heavy Dawn of the Dead in which a soldier wakes up in a veteran’s hospital to find that the undead have taken over; “Spring 2061” by Kim Krizan, set in a future when zombies prevail and humans are bought and sold like sides of beef; Todd Lepre’s EC Comics–influenced “Zounds,” in which a band of survivors stumbles upon a Shakespeare-lover’s undead theater company; and William Messner-Loebs’ hilarious “5 Stars,” which is sort of an episode of At the Movies gone horribly wrong. Effectively capturing the spirit of Tales from the Crypt and The Twilight Zone with tight stories, twisted endings, and top-notch artwork, Oblivion is far stronger than other collections three times its size. --Carlos Orellana
