This is a collection of pretty good zombie stories.Why did I give it 3 stars instead of 4 or 5?Well, I have a problem with writers who use the thesaurus and choose obscure words when a "common" word is best.  Example ~ "he ignored the puddle of effluent." paraphrased, but really?  the puddle of effluent?  What was so wrong with the word vomit?  I didn't have to bring up dictionary.com to verify that the word meant what I thought it meant.  This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine.  I love flowy, descriptive words, but effluent?  Really?  Then we have a half eaten leg with dark spots of detritus on the shoes.  Detritus? Who actually uses this word?All in all, the stories are decent ~ good in fact ~ I was just very irritated by the $10 words.If you are a fan of zombies, I think you'll enjoy these.  Maybe the effluent and detritus won't bother you as much as it did me...
