In Zombiesque, sixteen authors spin tales of zombies--the most recent trend in horror these days--from the zombie's point-of view. While in any multi-author anthology, some of these efforts are more successful than others, or at least more to my personal taste, the notable thing about Zombiesque is that there is both a high level of quality in almost all the stories and a spectacular level of variety in the plots, tones, and perspectives shown. Nancy A. Collins gets things off to a fast, primal start in the short zombie awakening tale, "At First Only Darkness," which is visceral and unsettling in its single-minded simplicity. Charles Pinion tackles maintaining one's essence of self in a world and body gone mad in "The Immortal Part." In "Do No Harm," Tim Waggoner shows how the vestige of one's persona, of one's humanity, lingers on into inhumanity. Richard Lee Byers deals with zombiedom as a disturbing and sometimes disquietingly allegorical vacation recreation in "Zombie Camp." Robert Sommers reveals that it's not always good that there's no place like home in "Into That Good Night." Seanan McQuire provides comic relief of the darkly campy variety in "Gimme a 'Z'!" one of my favorites in the anthology. G.K. Hayes demonstrates vividly why you should always steer clear of someone who calls into work "sick," in "You Always Hurt the One You Love." Jim C. Hines makes clear that responsibility and honor do not end with death or retirement in "In The Line of Duty." Sean Taylor proves that writing as a zombie is even more difficult than writing from the point of view of a zombie in "Posthumous." In another favorite, Jean Rabe shows just what immortality, rock and roll, and a need for speed can do when combined in a seventeen year old with no fear in "The Warlock's Run." In "Zero," Del Stone Jr. explores the differences between hunger and desire when craving leads to sacrifice and satisfying hunger may lead back to life. "A Distant Sound of Hammers," by S. Boyd Taylor proves in chilling and evocative language that dreams must always exist for violence and depression to be held at bay. Loaszlo Xalieri investigates the zombie of madness in "The Confession." Nancy Holder investigates trophy wives and the rage that drives them zombie in "Zombie Zero." Donald J. Bingle, author of "Solitary Life" in The Crimson Pact, now available.

This collection of short pieces, all written from the zombie perspective, was a surprisingly good read, and offered a staggering array of styles and storylines. My undeniable favorite among them was Robert Sommers' deftly crafted "Into That Good Night", but the collection as a whole is high enough quality that trying to pick out others that were particularly noteworthy is difficult. Absolutely worth reading.

Great collection of zombie short stories. I especially liked "Zombie Camp" by Richard Lee Byers about a couple who vacation at a resort that boasts the zombie experience for the living. "Gimme a 'Z'" by Seanan McGuire is a hoot about a zombie cheerleader that just wants to be back on the squad. If you're a big zombie fan (and who isn't), check out Zombie Zoology: Zombie Anthology and for sure Dark Moon presents: ZOMBIES!.
