New Dead: A Zombie Anthology by Christopher Golden
4.0
I like short stories. I like zombies. I knew this book was for me.
The stories range from the clever (Joe Hill's Twitter-based story) to the metaphysical/experimental (Aimee Bender's story Among Us). They all worked, even though I was disappointed with the endings of a couple of them. Joe Lansdale's story - it was done well enough, but only had thematic zombies, which I was disappointed with. Deep, sure, well-written, sure, zombies no. But, in context - it had to be done, I think, to push things as far as they could go, in that direction.
Overall, a satisfying book.
