Funny story: my wife gave me this book and said that I would enjoy it. Since she's rarely wrong about it, I obliged. Boy, am I happy I did!Gripping, intelligent, expertly written, and at times even hilarious, this collection is NOT your typical zombie fare. Every story here is in its own league.The Village Bake Sale tells a story about a small village street fair that peacefully (well, to the point) unfolds amidst the reports of growing zombie unrest in London. You will NOT be able to guess how this story ends; and if you do, you're much sicker than I am:-).Antidote is about a researcher and his transformations of a sort in a zombie apocalypse world who's in a dire and mortal need of getting his priorities straightened up.Mary Celeste is a zombie version of the real events that had led to one of the most debated puzzles in maritime history. I had known and read about Mary Celeste, and perhaps this is why I read this story with a great interest. It's gripping, and the language is very colorful, and you can just tell the topic had been well-researched by the author.Whether you like the genre or not, the writing and plotting are top-notched. Highly recommended!
