Twelve stories. Twelve accounts of love and loss, of pain and acceptance. Of rejection and hope. Of mistakes and redemption. Of trying, failing, and mostly succeeding. Twelve tales. Twelve insights into the depths of minds changed utterly by unknown scientific processes, grappling to understand their new natures. Twelve. Of them. Of their struggles and hunger and sharp sense of smell. Of their desire to talk and sing and dance and race cars and hold guns and - Twelve stories. Of life, then death, then... uh... unlife? Twelve. Of them. Zombies. Their stories. Here. In this book. Right now. Twelve. (Again?) Well, it just seems appropriate to end that way. (Oh yeah, right. okay then.) Twelve. (Are we mentioning the RZA?) (Not yet.) Oh, er... oops. Can I finish? oh yeah, right. okay then.) Twelve - Ah, forget it. Twelve stories... zombies... yeah. You get it.

A collection of stories, tightly tied together by more than just circumstance--the acronym mentioned on the back cover plays a big part. People, ranging from your average joe to hitmen and spies, fall victim to the undead plague. It's what they do next that brings them together. Just because you're dead doesn't mean you can't have a life . . . of sorts.
Funny, brief, with varied voices, this collection is perfect for fans of zombie stories.
