I really enjoyed this book. I think there was only one story that I really did not like, even though some of them were just okay most were good and sometimes disturbing, lol. However there were some really good ones, Cold Hands, The Care and Feeding of Your Baby Unicorn, and Princess Prettypantss had to have been my favorites. I want to add Inoculata, but it was like a fragment of a story to me. Bougainvillea, Purity Test, The Children of the Revolution, and Prom Night were also very good. However I did think that the zombie stories were better than the unicorn stories on a whole. I enjoyed this anthology and will defiantly be revisiting some of these authors.

Even the Unicorn stories were not that bad. Go Team Zombie!

How can you go wrong with zombies and unicorns and the list of authors in this book? Answer: you can't. These were all really great, there was only one I contemplated skipping but I persevered and it ended up being an interesting story as well.

The (Amazing) Book Club of Doom book for March, 2022. There's a lot to enjoy here, and a lot of, "huh?", which made it a good book for discussion!

This was a fun/entertaining mixed bag of zombie/unicorn stories. In my humble opinion, the zombie stories outstripped most of the unicorn stories in action and intrigue, but there were a few select unicorn stories that were pretty intense and moving (Margo Lanagan & Kathleen Duey's unicorn stories were standouts for me). If you enjoyed Carrie Ryan's world of zombies from her books, her short story "Bougainvillea" is an extension of that world. Libba Bray's "Prom Night" felt like a fully realized world for such a tightly-written story.
Overall, I found these stories ranged from "meh" to highly enjoyable. Some interesting ideas were used, and the mythos was heartily poked at. Some are definitely worth the read. I purchased the Kindle edition.
In case you weren't aware, these stories are written by young adult authors and are geared toward/written about teenagers. They range from silly and light to pretty dark (which sort of comes with the territory of zombie stories). Some feature drinking, sexuality, and swearing, if you're concerned about that sort of thing. Violence is definitely featured, even in some of the unicorn stories.

my kids and I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of short stories. like all collections I liked some of the stories better than ever. I dont think it won me over to team unicorn but several of the unicorn stories gave some great new takes on them.
