The living dead rule the world! From the battle-torn skies over World War I France to the corridors of alien prisoner-of-war satellites, from the opium dens of exotic Victorian Shanghai to the living rooms of suburban America, zombies rise up!

They will not be denied...

This review is from: The Book of Final Flesh (All Flesh Must Be Eaten) (Paperback)

Lowder has done it again with this last book in his trio of Zombie anthologies. Beginning with The Book Of All Flesh, continuing with The Book Of More Flesh, and finally completing with this stellar collection, The Book Of Final Flesh. Many of the talented authors from the previous two collections are back, with more of their brilliant and inspired writings of the new age of zombies. No tired old tales here, each story is a fresh new look at the living dead, running the gamut from humor to terror with flavorful enthusiasm.

Scott Nicholson is back, with `You'll Never Walk Alone', a haunting tale of a child's loneliness in his sequestered life with his father, John Sullivan's `Relapse' brings medical wonder cures out for display, Sarah A. Hoyt's romantic `The Blonde' brings a touch of fantasy to the undead, Tim Waggoner's `Provider' takes Zombie family lifestyles to a new level, Andy Vetromile takes a couple of cold mobster hitmen and tasks them with walking corpses in `If A Job's Worth Doing', Ed Greenwood's `The Secret In The Cellar' is a stunningly bizarre medical thriller, Steve Melisi takes love where it shouldn't go in `Christine's World', Mike Cole combines zombies with fantastically strange creatures over an African plain in `Shouting Down The Moon', and Christine Morgan rises to mention once again with `Seven Brains, Ten Minutes', a tale of deception amongst the undead.

Other authors to be mentioned are Joe Murphy, Lee Thomas, Kealan Patrick Burke, Mark McLaughlin, Kristine Dikeman, Lucien Soulban, Roland J. Green, Joseph M. Nassise, Pete D. Manison, Scott Reilly, Barry Hollander, Paul E. Martens, Paul G. Tremblay, Jonathan Petersen, and Scott Edelman.

Twenty-four new tales of Zombies run amok, stalking our quiet streets and hunting our brains. From Earth to Space, from past to present, and on into the future of humanity, the Zombies shuffle through the pages of this lovely collection with deadly intent. If you are a Zombie lover, this is a must have addition to your collection. Enjoy!
