Product Description

Product Description

17 short stories based before, during, and after the Zombie Apocalypse. They contain horror, action, comedy, and personal tragedy, exploring the breadth of human experience and emotion in this most inhuman of situations. Pete is known for forging a path away from established Zombie stereotypes, this book contains 9 previously available works that have been edited or rewritten. Then there are an additional 8 previously unpublished works in this collection that represent all of Pete Bevan's Zombie fiction in one spine chilling tome of 85,000 words. The collection also contains all three parts of his acclaimed ‘Minister’ series.

Due to the subject matter and language used this book is not recommended for the under 18’s. Not unless they’ve been really bad.

Comment by Scott B

Pete, this is an excellent piece of work. I have started reading your other pieces on this site, and I really enjoy how you transition so smoothly between the perspectives of various character types throughout your work. Your diction is also excellent. I wish I had more experience with British vernacular.

Thanks Pete for publishing these works as a set. I have enjoyed your previous Minister work on the internet, and now having the trilogy of ministerial works alongside a load more tales of Zombie madness makes me a happy Melvin!

I hadn't read any of Pete Bevan's stories before & approached them with some caution after reading the doting and over-zealous reviews below. However, after reading this volume of short stories I have to say to this book is a fine addition to the field of zombie short stories.

It is not easy for a new author to publish short stories but this is a well-produced & put together collection. The book itself is very well done with a good cover & very pleased over-sized layout. It's a good 180 pages long with 17 stories of varying lengths. The one thing that binds them all is the theme of the walking dead...

Bevan is at his best in his contemporary stories such as the opening piece Islands, which has strong echoes of the remade Dawn of the Dead. The author throws you immediately in a battle for survival as an isolated guy holding out on a roof. Other tales of note in the collection include the twisty Cadish & The Boy - both strong tales.

For me, his period piece The Isle of the Ungodly is one of the weaker stories & I didn't feel like I was hearing the authors real voice here, it was too contrived for me. However, this is easily balanced out by other standouts such as the curiously titled Leaving Liminality & Bevan's excellent Minister series of stories.

All in all, this is a very good first collection. The author is at his best when his writing is simple, direct & razor-sharp, over the foundation of a good story - of which there are many here. Sometimes I feel Bevan struggles to escape the shadow of other writers & one senses the strong influence of other authors in the work sometimes but this is natural for a newer writer as they find their own style & doesn't detract from the value of this stories.

The Ministry series is a fine achievement in its self & I'll watch with interest to see what Pete Bevan comes up with next. I am a great lover & supporter of short stories so it's nice to see a new author put out a first collection like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any Zombie Apocalypse fan!! 3 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Already knowing Mr Bevan's work a bit from the internet, I was really pleased to see a collection of his short stories on Amazon. I purchased "All The Dead Are Here" without any hesitation and I haven't regretted this for even a second. Some collections in this genre tend to focus too much on one specific kind of story or suffer from inconsistend quality. Not so with this one! Mr Bevan has a very good and mature writing style, which take his stories above the 'hack & slash' level. Moreover, he doesn't limit himself to "strong silent hero on a quest for survival" kind of stories, but explores a great number of options the zombie genre offers. Another strong point of this collection, is the excellent mix between horror, humor and stories with strong emotional impact. All this makes the collection feel balanced and makes sure you don't get a "been there done that" feeling.

All in all: All The Dead Are Here is one of the finest collection of short zombie related stories I have encountered. Even if you are not a zombie fan, you won't regret reading this and if you are, this simply is a MUST have.
