This is a highly enjoyable collection of three short zombie tales.Now I must admit I'm not a big fan of zombie fiction and I usually pass on them unless there are special reasons to read them. Mr. Stark offers an innovative and creative vision of this genre which I found quite captivating and a good read.My favorite of the three was The Day the Zombies Roamed Venezuela which is set in Eco Station One, the setting of one of Stark's earlier novels. Greater authenticity is added because the author lives in the jungles of Venezuela and he knows of what he writes. Sparkling prose, despite a few minor editing issues, but you can safely ignore those and just enjoy the stories and the humor infused in them. Another good story was Zombie Cab. Zombies are starting to take over a city. In this zany story, a zombie casually strolls into a cab and pays for a ride. The first story, Aftermath, was a little dark for my taste but still a good story.This is an inexpensive collection that is well worth reading and if you are a zombie fan is probably one of the best books in this genre you will ever read.
