The best thing about UNDEAD is its uniqueness. These storytellers have used their imaginations to the fullest and presented ten tales of Zombies that are unusual and original.  There isn't a traditional storyline among them. They were well-written and I enjoyed them all.But, FURZBY HOLT, by Jonathan Broughton inched a little above the rest as my favorite. Even the title made me smile. A census taker travels to FURZBY HOLT, which unbeknownst to him is a town whose residents are zombies. The interaction between the census taker, the zombies and their care-giver/interpreter as he asks about the type of dwellings, income, etc., while keeping his fear intact, was wonderfully funny and dark.GREYWALKER, by Rayne Hall has her zombie adventure set in a distant Middle Eastern country during the Bronze Age and DECISION OF THE COUNCIL, by John Hoddy takes us to the year 2225 where a beloved hero (for me) from the 20th century is reanimated back to life. Both are very cool, clever stories.A little dark humor always hooks me. I'LL LOVE YA, FOREVER, BUT... by April Grey, ZOMBIE MOTHER-IN-LAW, by Tara Maya and LAST CHANCE TO SEE, by Tracie McBride deliver top notch stories that are creepy but with enough wit to bring a smile to your face.IMMUNITY, by Jeff Strand, ANOTHER OLDIE BUT GOODIE, by Paul Dail, THE REASON FOR ZOMBIES, by Douglas Kolacki and FEEDING FRENZY, by Matt Hults are quality stories with an eerie and atmospheric tone all their own.A great read from start to finish. I highly recommend it.
