The Undead is a stunning collection of 23 tales of the living dead by zombie fan favorites and up-and-coming authors. The Undead includes classic tales of survival in a world populated by the living dead as well as an array of unique takes on the zombie genre: zombies as reality entertainment, glimpses from inside the "life" of the undead, intergalactic war with humanity's own dead turned against us, and everything in between. The Undead will leave zombie fans hungry for more!

Solid debut for an anthology series,
By
This review is from: The Undead: Zombie Anthology (Paperback)
Undead. The very word makes you shudder. Cold, lifeless bodies somehow still moving, running solely on instinct with an all-consuming hunger for human flesh. A horde of walking dead that don't stop clawing at you, don't stop chasing you, don't give up...until they have you.The Undead's collection of zombie stories is just like that: unrelenting, non-stop, the-dead-keep-on-coming action, nearly each story gripping you hard and sucking you into a world of never-ending night. Some of the stories in this book are simply exciting tales of flesh-hungry gut-munchers, where others are more atmospheric, and yet others more character-driven than zombie-driven. For me personally, it's the latter that I enjoy most (though I'm never opposed to a good old-fashioned zombie romp either). My favorite character-driven stories for this anthology were, "Home" by David Moody and "Ann at Twilight" by Brent Zirnheld. "Chuy and the Fish" by David Wellington is also a huge favorite. So very original, in this reviewer's opinion. Other cool and well-written tales I thoroughly enjoyed were: "Hotline" by Russell Calhoun, "Graveyard Slot" by Cavan Scott, "13 Ways of Looking at the Living Dead" by Eric Pape, "Undead Prometheus" by Rob Morganbesser and "Pale Moonlight" by D.L. Snell. There were a few stories that fell short and one in particular that I remember reading and going, "Okay, not really sure what that was supposed to be." There are three more books in Permuted Press's Undead Anthology series. They're on my list. This first volume got me hooked.

Great book!,

This review is from: The Undead: Zombie Anthology (Paperback)
This book is a really good buy, i highly recommend it. A few of the stories were lacking, but that's the name of the game. I highly reccomend it for anyone who likes short stories of any Genere, horror fans, and aspiring writers.

Zombies on the loose!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Undead: Zombie Anthology (Paperback)
Not since Spector's Book of the Dead has such an interesting and engrossing book about the living dead been published. This book will satisfy any zombie/living dead fan. It covers the gamut from Outer Space to Gothic and includes a story (Undead Prometheus) in which a character from classic literature makes the rounds in battle against the ghouls. While some of the authors are well known, others are new to the field and are being given their first shot by Permuted Press, which is likely to be a force in future horror publishing. It's about time that the living dead (buoyed by such recent films as Shaun of the Dead, Land of the Dead and the Remake of Dawn of the Dead) made a comeback and this, unlike some of the recent zombie books, will hit the reader like a 12 gauge shot to the gut. So sit back, open this one up and be prepared to be entertained and horrified!
