A Zombie Walks Into A Bar: A Collection of Five Science Fiction Short Stories

by Christopher Gray

This collection of five short stories touches on themes and topics throughout the genre including zombies, superheroes, artificial intelligence, and the changing role of birthdays in the future. "Billy and the Zombies" is a story about a boy who spent most of his life preparing for a zombie apocalypse and now has to deal with one in real life. "Mom's Special Day" talks about an indeterminate future where birthdays have a much different meaning than they do today. "The Trial of WLQC-73" discusses what happens when we create computers that are as human as we are with all of our faults and failings. "The Heist" is a story about a future where Superheroes aren't as clean cut as our comic books show them to be. "Chance Encounters" describes what happens when a simple misunderstanding spirals out of control.

My favorite story, Mom’s Special Day, brought tears to my eyes.

Listened on an audio book. The title is bit deceiving as there is only one zombie story. Favorite story was the one about the meta-humans.
