The Living Dead by John Joseph Adams

2.0

I was expecting good ol' fashioned zombie stories. But what I got instead was a bunch of overly creative garbage with barely any gore in it. Aside from the first story and a few in the middle, there was very little worthwhile in this collection. Most of the zombies didn't even eat people! One story didn't even contain zombies, but rather, took place on the set of a zombie movie. YAWN. A lot of the zombie stories had the zombies talking and thinking and being very unzombie-like. They seemed to miss the point entirely. Don't buy this book. Pick up "World War Z" by Max Brooks instead.
