A lively collection of zombie tales spanning history - from a group of zombie-mammoth munching hominids in the pleistocene (yeah, that ends badly), to fun and hi-jinx in Thomas Edison's secret lab on the cusp of the 20th century - that never fails to disappoint.
There's something for everyone. You've got Ronins, Vikings, Jack The Ripper, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, mad carnival barkers, the Union army, the Confederate army, the Sally Army, bootleggers, preachers, street walkers. Forbidden love and doomed lovers. Oh, and a couple of walk-ons from Rembrandt and Shakespeare
Kim Paffenroth has assembled a lot of new (to me) and exciting talent here. Hard to pick out just one favourite, though I would have to go with James Roy Daley's Summer Of 1816 - Mary Shelley is struggling to find inspiration for a horror story, so she heads for the pub one stormy night and meets a most singular man...
Honourable mentions to Carole Lanham for The Moribund Room, and Derek Gunn for The Third Option.
Great fun throughout, and highly recommended.
