A review by lep42
The Living Dead by John Joseph Adams

3.0

Like most anthologies, the story quality in this one was uneven, however there were enough strong stories to give this a solid 3 to 3.5 stars.


I particularly enjoyed

"This Year's Class Picture" by Dan Simmons (whose Hyperion I coincidentally just finished).

"Death and Suffrage" by Dale Baily

"Mathusian's Zombie by Jeffery Ford (nice twist at the end)

"Home Delivery" by Stephen King

"Meathouse Man" by George R.R. Martin

"The Age of Sorrow" by Nancy Kilpatrick"

"Bitter Grounds" by Neil Gaiman (appreciated it more this time than the last time I read it)

"Followed" by Will McIntosh


My favorite piece was "Sparks Fly Upward" by Lisa Morton
