Thoroughly enjoyable -- I savored these stories for the better part of a month, not wanting to give in to my impulses and plow through the book in a week. These historical fiction, zomb-lit stories are sometimes intense, humorous (the Shakespeare story is hilarious), and thought-provoking. I hope to see a volume two in the future!

This book was super fun and interesting to read; I loved having an anthology for this subject because some authors don't do zombies as well as others. The first half of this book was the most interesting for me and I loved the stories dating back to cavemen time. The second half was a bit of a drag for me but still interesting. There were so many plague stories that I really needed something different so the more unique the telling the better. I got this book in a blind box during halloween time about 5 years ago and just picked it up periodically around October since they were short stories I didn't need to remember anything. I highly recommend reading during spooky month!
Good, interesting, better than I expected. HOWEVER, I noticed two misspellings in "The Barrow Maid" and they are making me crazy. And they're the kind of mistakes that make me want to kill things, like she played with a "lose" thread, and later "barred" her teeth. Seriously?
OTHER THAN THAT, the stories are pretty entertaining and novel.
