You can't kill the dead! Like any good monster, the zombie has proven
to be ever-evolving, monumentally mutable, and open to seemingly
endless imaginative interpretations: the thralls of voodoo sorcerers,
George Romero's living dead, societal symbols, dancing thrillers,
viral victims, reanimated ramblers, video gaming targets,
post-apocalyptic permutations, shuffling sidekicks, literary mash-ups,
the comedic, and, yes, even the romantic. Evidently, we have an
enduring hunger for this infinite onslaught of the ever-hungry dead.
Hoards of readers are now devouring zombie fiction faster than armies
of the undead could chow down their brains.
It's a sick job, but somebody had to do it: explore the innumerable
necrotic nightmares of the latest, greatest, most fervent devotion in
the history of humankind and ferret out the best of new millenial
zombie stories: Zombies: The Recent Dead.
