Zombie Tales Vol. 3: Good Eatin'
Grade 8 Up—In this addition to the series, 12 vignettes by different authors and illustrators center on zombies. The artwork varies from classic comic style to sepia toned and horror-movie dark. Also varied is the quality of stories. The first selection is interesting in its use of faith as a healing factor, which is not often found in zombie tales. Unfortunately, the narrator with the strong faith is supposed to be "slow" as seen through her narration, but it's inconsistent. It's unlikely that someone who pronounces television "telebision" could smoothly say "DNA consultant." The collection is mildly entertaining and should be considered an additional purchase.—Suanne Roush, Osceola High School, Seminole, FLCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
