An entirely new take on the zombie genre with every story included here. Definitely enjoyed it although I wish a couple of the stories had been longer.

Harte did what others haven’t been able to do, pull me into a series of unrelated short stories. Most collections of short stories are just too short. Not enough time or depth to get me to care about the characters. Each of her short stories immediately drew me in and had me wanting more.
She experimented with zombies and their capacity to love. The earlier stories in the collection were my favorites. A husband tries to protect his wife so they can stay together as one-bite-higher-human zombies, even though she smells so yummy. Some zombies have to hide their preference for rare animals than eating little children. My favorite is the sex-slave zombie that only has eyes for one human. AWESOME!! These had me wanting MORE. I hope we get a chance at fleshed out versions of these in the future.

Hungry For You is a collection of short stories filled different takes on zombies. Some more grotesque than others. A.M. Harte really shows a creative mind in exploring the many facets of how zombies act.
Knowing the author, I loved exploring her ideas and laughed at some of the stories, despite them being disgusting

I really enjoy zombie movies and the odd zombie game, and even though I have a soft spot for horror stories and dark fiction born from my reading background, I haven’t read many zombie books or stories in general. When I first read the description for Hungry For You I was a little wary, mainly because I’ve read my fair share of paranormal romance (enough to last me a lifetime – not a major PR fan here) and I admit I was a little concerned about love mixed in with zombies, but I was willing to give it a go with an open mind. And I also thought maybe it couldn’t be too much of a stretch to like zombie stories in print so why not start with a short story collection?
Well wasn’t I happy I decided to read it? It’s a short read, but one that might be better read spaced out. I read a few stories, then switched to another book that was a review request, before coming back to it. The first time I spent reading it I read far fewer stories compared to the second. I think for me, even though it is something that can easily be read in a day and probably better if you’re a zombie fiction fan, it would be better to space it out so I’m not inundated with zombie love.
