Death Has Come Up Into Our Windows by Stant Litore
5.0
This story has stayed with me since I first read it many years ago, and at a re-read it still has a punch. It's brutal, dark and agonizingly sad.
Litore's idea to use a zombie outbreak to explain the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem and the detailed regulation in the Bible and Talmud of burials and how to handle dead bodies is ingenious. I'm also impressed by how much empathy he makes me feel for the tragic prophet Jeremiah in so few pages.
