I have to say that zombies usually aren't my thing.  Sure I've seen some of the classic horror movies, Night of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later..played some of the games..Resident Evil, etc, etc...but a while back I thought the market was oversaturated by them....more movies...comic books..video games...MASS HYSTERIA!!! Then I started watching The Walking Dead and found that in the hands of a good writer good stories could come from these seemingly mindless brain eating corpses...So I dug into Zombie Bits..and thanks to Nicholson and company I've found yet another genre that I'm looking forward to diving into some more.This book covers the whole spectrum...from a zombified leave it to beaver short SHORT story to the people who survive zombie attacks to inside the mind OF the zombies...a different perspective to be sure. I also found two new authors that I'll likely be reading sooner or later, Joe McKinney who wrote the very human story Survivors and Jack Kilborn who wrote the very funny and quite disturbing A Matter of Taste.The highlights for me were:Bleeding Ink--what does a reporter do when a zombie apocalypse breaks out? Why, he works to meet his deadline to file the story!Survivors--sometimes the story is about how people live AFTER the apocalypse, not what they do duringMurdermouth--how would you feel if you were a zombie forced to work as a side show freak? Read this and find outVery very entertaining stuff to be had here. Another great anthology by Nicholson and friends.
