Quite a lot of zombie-related stories of all different kinds, some quite thrilling and scary, some even funny, some bittersweet, etc. Well known and less known authors, all offering interesting points of view and possibilities of life with or as zombies.
Recommended if you love the genre.

A few stories I did honestly like. The last two were nice enough for sure, but I few I actively hated, and some other just left me incredibly bored. Was disgusted by a few, annoyed by others, and overall just had a pretty bad time reading this.

I like zombies and I like a good zombie story, but I honestly cannot recommend this compilation.

The first and last stories were great. There's maybe 1 or 2 in the middle that are good, but most of these stories were bombs. Maybe I just go for more literal and less symbolic. The second volume is much better.

Part of my current zombie-phase. Almost finished and only liked the first two stories by Dan Simmons and Kelly Link.

Le voy a poner una estrella pero no ponerle menos. Creo que no ha habido un libro sobre zombies que me haya gustado menos que este. Mira que he leído de zombies y mira que algunos me han decepcionado muchísimo pero nada como esto.
Como es posible que un libro con autores tan importantes como R.R. Martin, King, Neal , me haya gustado tan poco.
Encima si me preguntas ¿te gustaron las historias de esos autores? te juro que no sabría decirte ni de que han tratado sus relatos, bueno obvio de zombies pero ya me entendéis.
Como es posible que un libro sobre zombies trate tan poco de lo que en si en la vida real llamamos zombies. Eran muertos que andaban normal, que hablaban, que incluso algunos tenían sexo.
En serio en mi cabeza solo ha quedado marcado un relato en si pero porque me resulto tan, tan gore que me ha marcado. Trataba sobre una chica que , no recuerdo muy bien si era prostituta o iba a tener sexo sin más con un chico por diversión, solo recuerdo que la amarraron empezaron a ahogarla un poco en plan sexual pero se le fue tanto la mano que mientras practicaban sexo ella se convirtio y acabo arrancándole su miembro con su coño con dientes. Os lo juro, ese fue el único que me pareció fuera de lo normal.
Lo único interesante en este libro ha sido que lo he leído y comentado con una muy buena amiga (Sonia)que como siempre hemos tenido nuestras mega charlas riéndonos de las tontadas de los libros. En serio ¿vamos a encontrar un libro que a ambas nos tenga mega enganchada y no podamos soltarlo y gangirleemos sin poder parar pero de lo bueno que es?.
Bueno lo seguiremos intentando. Al final explicar que hemos tardado tanto en leerlo no solo porque era un señor tochazo, que lo es, sino porque hicimos un parón de un tiempo y metimos libros por el medio intentando que no fuera tan pesado.
¿Lo recomiendo? Si, a mi peor enemigo. ¿Releerlo? Ya lo tengo en mi lista de intercambios y esta más que claro que a no ser que me de una de mis locuras ni loca leeré Zombies 2.

The collection starts off strong. The first story is the second best in the whole book! I was also excited to read Joe Hill and Sherman Alexie in the same anthology, as they are two of my favorite authors. Unfortunately, it gets weaker the farther in you get.
I thought the best story by far was "Followed." I enjoyed the premise of that story so much that it bumped my review up a whole star.

I have read a few stories from this so far and they are great. Some better than others of course, but all in all I would say totally worth a read if you like zombies.
