Review: Good ZOMBIE shorts!

Edwin Stark continues to impress with this somewhat zany approach to zombie fiction. The first short story, Aftermath, is a rather gloomy look at how a zombie apocalypse would affect society as a whole- it's very dark and does not speak well of our society.The second story, Zombie Cab, is also chilling with a humorous twist- what if you were an honest cabbie during a zombie outbreak? Everybody deserves a ride, right? Especially if they tip well! URK!!The third short story, The Day Zombies Roamed Venezuela, was probably my favorite, because I have read Eco Station One, which features in the story of our author, Mr. Stark himself, reporting on an EMERGENCY BLOG about zombies roaming around the station!I really liked all three short stories- they were funny, and sad at the same time. Had to withhold the fifth star, however, for some editing issues. Mr. Stark is in the middle of some social-economic issues most Americans cannot even grasp, so obtaining an editor through regular means is nearly impossible.My advise... buy this inexpensive short story collection- ignore the occasional editing issues and read this work by a talented South American writer- some of his passages-sprinkled here and there at random like salt and pepper- are simply breathtaking!
