Product Description:
'When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth!' From White Zombie to Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil to World War Z, zombies have invaded popular culture, becoming the monsters that best express the fears and anxieties of the modern west. Gathering together the best zombie literature of the last three decades from many of today's most renowned authors of fantasy, speculative fiction, and horror, including Stephen King, Harlan Ellison, Robert Silverberg, George R. R. Martin, Clive Barker, Poppy Z. Brite, Neil Gaiman, Joe Hill, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Joe R. Lansdale, The Living Dead covers the broad spectrum of zombie fiction.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not very Scarey.
I bought this hoping for a haloween scare but so far no scares. I'll admit I'm not done with the book but while the stories inside are good It doesn't really make me feel I've been visited by the living dead. I'll put it down and read some more another time.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Amazing Compendium
There are a bunch of good compendiums of short stories that have to do with horror topics, and even a few dedicated to zombies (the editor of The Living Dead even goes out of his way to list a few). But The Living Dead is probably one of the best rounded 'theme' anthologies I've ever come across. Each of the stories are solid and contribute to a rich tapestry of diverse zombie stories.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Book
For lovers of Stephen King and Clive Barker, two of the best horror minds of our generation, and for those who appreciate a good zombie book, definitely he way to go!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cheap
Great book, poorly made. We bought this book new and the pages have all popped out from the binding. If you're buying this for a gift I suggest looking for a hardcover.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Zombie anthology
What could be more enjoyable than a Zombie story anthology? How about enjoying one during and after Hurricane Ike, with no power and candlelight?? How about one that includes three of my all-time fav authors (Dan Simmons, George R. R. Martin and Stephen King)? How about one nearly 500 pages long (at least the ARC is)? How about one edited by John Joseph Adams, who also brought us the anthologies Seeds of Change and Wastelands (which, yes, I need to finish).

Many of these stories have been ... Read More
