Review: Not your normal zombie stories  (I would give 4 1/2 stars if Amazon allowed)

Edwin Stark has done it again, managing to write a collection of short stories that take the normal zombie story and give it a twist. This collection actually deserves 4 1/2 stars (I wasn't as fond of the second short story) but Amazon only lets me review in full stars... sadness.  Anyway, on to the review!The first story, "Aftermath", is the closest to a traditional zombie story. Set approximately 10 years after the zombie outbreak, it shows how the survivors live on a day to day basis, trying to put their civilization back together while fighting the few zombies that remain. However, this story has a twist, so make sure that you don't assume that all zombie stories, or all zombies, are alike.The second story, "Zombie Cab", is a short story about a cab driver in the middle of the night in New York City, and how supermarket tabloids may actually have a bit of truth to their stories. Don't worry, Elvis is still dead.The third and last story, "When Zombies Roamed Venezuela", is a complete tongue-in-cheek look at what would happen in Edwin found himself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.  I absolutely love his descriptions of zombies versus political followers, and the rest of his descriptions of Venezuela. Though the underwater hotel can certainly advertise an indoor pool!I would highly recommend this collection of shorts, if only for Aftermath itself and for the completely hilarious third story. And if you like Aftermath, Edwin has already written a sequel of sorts, "Aftermatch - Episode 2."
