Product details

Product Description
Synopsis
Our team of crack historians has uncovered the truth you never learned in school: the living dead have walked among us since the dawn of time. In this collection of gruesome tales from throughout the ages, the ravenous undead shamble through bloody battlefields, plague-ridden cities, genteel country estates, and dusty frontier towns. They emerge from foggy cemeteries, frozen barrows, loamy bogs, cursed mines, and gore-spattered operating rooms to prey on the living. But these zombies don't just eat people. They help painters and writers save their faltering careers. They unwittingly push humankind on the quest for fire. They topple evil capitalists and their corporate empires. They fight crime. They fall in love. Join us on a journey into our zombie-filled past...Neither history nor the living dead have ever been this exciting!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another silver bullet., 6 Feb 2008
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.
