This anthology of 15 short horror stories is written by a variety of authors in a variety of styles, but all are about zombies and the Zombie Apocalypse. Normally zombies aren't my thing, but this anthology made it fun to be scared and read about zombies - time frames were anywhere from the Roman Empire's invasion of Germania through the near future, and styles ranged from an interesting, Voodoo-themed first-person narrative to a 3rd person narrative (which is tricky), and included everything from the typical, shambling zombies through zombies that were almost the same as a living person. One story is even told from the point of view of a dog, which I found particularly fascinating.

Each of the writers is obviously a master of their trade; the stories are all flawless, beautifully descriptive and wonderful to read - perfect little zombie-horror gems. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for something wonderful and spooky to read for Halloween, or any time of the year.

I am not a huge Zombie fan but the stories in this book had me hooked! Their original twists on an old standby are new and refreshing. The talented group of writers really came together in a great anthology that leaves me wanting more.

I received this in the mail not to long ago and blazed through the stories. Although i may have been better served to save each one for a literary snack in between other books, each story here has such a good feel and unique flavor you won't be wrong reading it this way.

I am very pleased at how good these stories actually are. Some appealed more to me than others but this is really one of the best collections I have read. Top marks to the writers and Swanson for putting together this collection of talents.

Highly recommend for fans of the genre

Good stories. All the different writers have a good, unique story to tell and an interesting voice of their own. The story featuring facebook is suprisingly awesome.

This collection is for anyone bored with the same old zombie tales. How many times can we read about post-apocalyptic warriors slashing their way through zombie hoards? You'll find a new approach to zombie stories here -- one that kept me glued to these pages for three hours last night.

I read a lot of zombie anthologies. I love The Walking Dead graphic series. I collect short story books filled with nothing but zombie tales. I can honestly say that this particular anthology has the BEST collection of zombie tales I've ever seen. I liked every single story in this digest. I love reading zombie literature, both dark and serious, and light and comedic. This collection is on the darker side, just to forewarn you. It's dark, disturbing and deliciously sinister. This is an array of talented horror authors (most of whom are new to me), but I expect to be seeing a lot more from ALL of these wonderful writers very soon. They obviously know their craft well. Bravo, Dark Moon Digest, on delivering an excellent new zombie collection. For any zombie literature lovers out there, this is a MUST read, and a collector's item!

Dark Moon Presents: Zombies is an anthology with a lot of heart and some of them get eaten! Consisting of 15 tales, this group of stories range from your typical zombie survival story to some very interesting and unique points of view. It's not often you read a zombie story from a dog's point of view, is it?

Dark Moon Presents: Zombies was not a homerun anthology for this reviewer. Now that is not to say that others would not find the stories to be fantastic, we are all different, right? In fact, it has great praise from several reviewers. The varying writing styles of each author is evident and the attention to details were amazing for each short story. None of the stories were overtly gory, but all were detailed enough in their description of the events occurring. It is purely a matter of reader tastes.

Dark Moon Books hits you with an antho so full of zombies and guts that you can't help but love it. Despite being a concept cut up, bled out, and hung up to dry, the indie authors in this book manage to be wholly original and gruesome, leaving a sweetening blood taste in your mouth. Definitely a book not to miss for your zombie bookcase.
