review 1: This book had some really great stories, but around the 2/3 point you can tell that the editor just gave up. I put it down after I couldn't get through a single page that didn't have a misspelled word, improper punctuation, or even a switch from 1st to 3rd person within a paragraph. The first half is definitely worth a read if you like zombie stories (there's even one by Neil Gaiman!) but if you're a grammar nazi, the last third is something truly scary.
review 2: Some of the stories in this collection are amazing. The authors explore many different aspects of the zombie idea. There are voodoo zombies, metaphorical zombies, ghouls, revenants, conscious zombies, and dangerous insatiable flesh eating zombies. The contributions from Neil Gaiman, Max Brooks, and Fr... moreancesca Lia Block were among my favorites. Intriguing, thought provoking, occasionally disconcerting, Paula Guran made some excellent choices about what to include, but this collection suffers from poor editing of the actual text. Every story had a least one error, and as an English teacher, this kind of sloppiness is hard to overlook. less
