Well, I waited patiently for 7/11, the release date... and our local B&N didn't order any copies!!!
So, I called them, let them know how STUPID THAT Was
and ordered a copy off amazon. It arrived 7/14.
So I immediately read the intros (George Romero! and Jonathan Maberry) then the story by Joe Lansdale
then the story by Mike Carey
and now I have to work on paperwork b/c the guys I work with want to get paid (darn them!)
will keep ya'll updated on what I think as these stories percolate

As a fan of Night of the Living Dead since shortly after its release in the 60's I found this book to be a great continuation of the story. The Blackstone audio edition has some amazing narration I just wish they did a better job of giving credit to the narrators. I particularly want to know who narrated Jay Bonansinga's, Fast Entry, but I am interested in whose voice I was hearing telling each tale.

Some of these short stories were absolutely fantastic. Even the mediocre ones had gems in them. Great listen too.

It's hard to figure out a rating/review for anthologies like this as a lot of the stories were 5 Stars, but a handful of ones were not good.
I decided on 4.5 Stars because I really liked that they gave a bio of each author before the story and the majority of the stories were worth the reading.

A fairly mixed bag of well written stories that explore many new angles of the zombie genre. I enjoyed reading this collection but felt the stories were, for the most part, more cerebral than visceral and that meant I was constantly imagining the action like a director realizing a movie rather than a participant living the terror. Curiously interesting, worth reading, but a finger pointing at the ghoul and not the ghoul itself.

As a lover of both anthology series and all things living dead (aka zombies, sorry George!) this book was such a TREAT!

Total unnecessary racism and homophobia in multiple stories.
The ones I listened to the racism and homophobia did not add anything to the storyline at all, except to make me uncomfortable.
If these things were integral to the story and it's characters then fair enough, but it wasn't.
So I did not finish this book.
