review 1: Like any book of short stories it had it's ups and downs. Some stories were very good, and others were very dissapointing or down right dumb. I was very dissapointed by the Joe Hill story that technically wasn't about zombies at all, but really about actors who play zombies in a popular film by Romero. There was also a Of Mice and Men" story that was really stupid. They seemed to spread out the crap stories though out the volume, but the really good ones seemed to be in the center. So that's why I rated this 3 out of 5. Not a book for everyone as some of the zombies are not the traditional Romero ghouls, so if you choose to read this keep an open mind.
review 2: There's a lot of familiar material here, with stories from Joe Hill, Stphen King, H. P. Lovecraft, a... morend others which have been collected before. This makes it a fine collection for newcomers to the zombie genre who have yet to bite into some of the "classics" of the past, but there is only a small amount of fresh meat for the long-time zombie fan to chew on. The quality of the collection is very good, but much of it we have seen before. less
