Don't sell this anthology of zomie stories short based on its premise. FIRST TIME DEAD 2 features zombie stories by first time writers (at least within the scope of zombie horror). The result is anything but amateur. Instead you get some very fresh takes on a genre that is quickly becoming over saturated.
The fresh perspectives are imperative. Too much zombie fiction is just the same story reworded over and over again. READ: World War Z wannabees. This is a collection of young blood dying to share their take on zombies.
No two stories are alike. Some are better then others. All tackle the nature of the creature and the world they exist in differently. I felt like perhaps there were a few stories too many in this collection but the variety kept me from losing interest.
All in all a great read for zombie enthusists. The publisher it should be noted is an excellent resource for quality zombie fiction. Read this and the original collection as well as book 3 which has just been released at the time of this review.
