Because someone needs to give it a goddamn rating :-)

NOTE: Extreme author bias.

[Natasha Hurley-Walker · Rating 3 out of 5]

Suitably nasty collection of horror stories, with a focus on zombies and the post-apocalypse. Some images are not going to leave my head in a hurry :-/ I now feel disturbed and somehow unclean, which I think is the author's intent. There are a couple of funny moments, and a few characters you cheer for even though everyone in this graveyard is a total misanthrope.

[Jason Bleckly · Rating 4 out of 5]

The best story is the title one, 'Everything is a Graveyard'. Muscle cars and drop bears. What more does a story need? Second best is, 'Undead Camels Ate Thier Flesh'. The title tells you everything you need to know.

[Bradley McCann]

Good stuff, Jason. I had fun with these stories. Some favourites were "House of Nameless" and "For Want of a Jesusman".

Jason Fischer's short fiction is always a cracking read, and this collection amply showcases the strengths of this horror author. Here you'll find unsettling (and often deeply upsetting) tales of zombie uprisings, undead kangaroos, the collapse of civilisation due to drop bear infestations, and other descriptions of apocalyptic landscapes, all featuring empathic characters, and delivered in a strong Australian tone. A brilliant read.
