They won't stay dead! The zombies can't be stopped. From the pitch-black holds of pirate ships and the tunnels beneath the steaming, war-torn jungles of Veitnam, they rise up. And there's no way to slow their shambling march of conquest, no corner of the world or period in history that's safe from the invasion. Secret government labs, the trendy galleries of New York's art scene, and the drawing rooms of nineteenth century England all become the lair of the living dead in this inventive and chilling collection of horror and dark fantasy fiction.

Tasty brain dip gives fresh flavor to tired subject,

This review is from: The Book of More Flesh (Paperback)
Just when you thought that the subject of Zombies has been worn thin enough to see through, along comes Lowder's Book Of More Flesh. Twenty-three unique and thrilling tales of rejuvenated flesh, clammy skin, and honest-to-goodness Zombies.
Highlights of the book are Scott Nicholson's `The Hounds Of Love', a tale of a bad boy and his oozing pet. Mark McLaughlin's `Trouble', modern day Andy Warhol tale told through the eyes of his cult, The Deathquaker's. Tom Piccirilli's `Naked Shall I Return', a lesson on sniffing too closely at your Family Tree. Don D'Ammassa's "The Black Rose", cautions you to make those wishes carefully. Steve Eller's `Memory Remains', a haunting tale of undying love. J. Robert King's `The Little Death Of Mr. Phillips', gives us a humorous look at those who just won't give up. Scot Noel's `The Hyphenated Spirit', a delicious tale of co-joined twins. And Claude Lalumiere's satirical `The Ethical Treatment Of Meat' will make you giggle in irony. In addition to these treasures are tales of haunted ship's holds, a zombie camp on the moon, an evil temp-employment agency, a terrifying excursion into the tunnels of Vietnam, bully versus zombie, and a Zombie theme-park. Topping the cake is the lovely cover art by Christopher Shy, always a nice addition to a well turned out anthology. Through the contributions of some terrifically creative writers, The Book Of More Flesh has breathed life back into an almost dead subject, pun intended. Any fan of the Zombie culture absolutely must pick up this gem of a book. Enjoy! I certainly did!

I loved the idea of many zombie stories under one cover but was disappointed with the comedy in some. I did find the book entertainning but it was really not what I had expected. Would I order and read it again? yes, I would!

A fantastic anthology of sci-fi/horror/fantasy fiction! The contributing authors are mostly well-known - or should be. Alexander Marsh Freed's story was one of my favorites, as was Scott Edelman's. Good plots, good characters, good everything! Totally enjoyable!
