Review: Buy this for the Owens story

This is a pretty good collection of zombie tales.  If you've seen a few zombie movies, you probably know what you're in for.  While they all have a nugget of interest in how they take a variant on the standard zombie plot, one really stands above the rest:  James Owens'.  His tells of a young boy and father who labor to keep their family life as normal seeming as possible, but it's clear the neighbors and his teachers don't approve.  The boy is our POV, and his care for his mother is moving--if a bit absurd with her being a zombie.  Damn good.  If it isn't in the Best-of collections, something's wrong.  I must now seek more works by James Owens.  Mr. Tuck's also works on the heart as it tells of a man wishing to return to his now zombie wife.  If you like your bizarre so bizarre it borders on insanity, you might want to check out the zombified Red Riding Hood.  How can you go wrong at 99 cents?
