5.0 out of 5 stars Bits of the Dead is a package of zombie bonbons, September 1, 2008

Bits of the Dead edited by Keith Gouveia
Coscom Entertainment, 2008
ISBN:9781897217818
Available New

Bits of the Dead is a package of zombie bonbons, with little bite size pieces of zombie goodness that you can devour quickly... and you can't eat just one. The stories in this collection range from one to three pages in length. While I was initially leery of a collection of super short zombie stories, I was pleasantly surprised. I was impressed with the quality stories the authors wrote with such a limited word count. A wide variety of horror authors, both well known and new, contributed to the collection. The stories range all over the spectrum of zombie fiction, and there is enough variety that even the most well read zombie fiend will find something new. In short, Bits of the Dead is more than simply a novel idea for a zombie anthology... it's the best kind of mind candy. I recommend Bits of the Dead to fans of the zombie genre in particular and horror readers in general.

4.0 out of 5 stars 38 Truly terrifying tales of the dead!, August 14, 2008

By	Revenant Magazine "Revenant: The Zombie Magazine" (A zombie infested world) - See all my reviews

'Bits of the Dead' is one of the finest collections of truly great zombie short fiction. This tome features the literary lashings of notable authors:

Piers Anthony, Robert Appleton, Joel Arnold, Drew Brown, Adam-Troy Castro, Nick Cato, C.M. Clifton, Christopher Allan Death, Ed Dempster, J.G. Faherty, Paul A. Freeman, Charles A. Gramlich, J.H. Hobson, M.M. Johnson, Michael Josef, Kiernan Kelly, Nancy Kilpatrick, Michael Laimo, Catherine MacLeod, James Newman, Kurt Newton, Jeff Parish, Matthew John Peters, Jeffrey C. Pettengill, Daniel Pyle, Gina Ranalli, Steven Savile, Julia Sevin, R.J. Sevin, Nate Southard, Jeff Strand, Simon Strantzas, Marcie Lynn Tentchoff, Lee Thomas, William T. Vandemark, Steve Vernon, Tim Waggoner, and John Weagly.

All of these great stories are highlighted by the unique artwork of Sean Simmans who is one of the most versatile artists I have ever seen. His style changes from story to story and each short is perfectly accompanied by his work.

I'd put 'Bits of the Dead' right up there with the likes of Skipp and Spector's 'Book of the Dead' or David J Schow's 'Zombie Jam' - each eerie tale featuring it's own new take on the dead.

If you're a fan of zombies and zombie fiction...load your gun, stock your basement and make a run to grab this book!
