I liked the zombies compared to mass consumerism! I’ve read one or two of the stories before but the best was all the background info to me!

Perhaps closer to a 3.5 star book overall, but I loved it like a 5.0

Schow is the Gibson of Zombie prose. A brutal examination of what our lives would look like anywhere from the first 30 second to the last 28 weeks after the initial zombie epidemic. A powerful, entertaining look at our current situation, with so much iris shredding prose the stories in this collection should be marketed as heavy metal LPs.

The quality of the writing is good, but the zombie stories in this slim volume really aren't my cup of tea. I'm going to move on to reading Mondo Zombie next.
