But not exactly great, either. There were some really great ideas in this book that just didn't seem to take off, and there were other stories that were pretty basic but were fairly well executed. There just weren't any stories in there that really jumped out and grabbed me. However, overall, the book was satisfying and it was easy to get through it. In the end, I was pleased with the book and I wouldn't not recommend it... Does that make sense?

Dead Science is a fairly short zombie anthology with the theme of mad science, or just science, as a means to provide us with the undead. Some of the authors really embraced the idea while a few others didn't really utilize science in any way different than most modern day zombie tales. Afterall, most zombie stories these days use viruses created in a lab by scientists or some variation on that theme to give us the undead buggers.
Like most anthologies, not all stories are for all people. Some of the tales don't stretch any boundaries and have predictable results but several of the authors did a bang up job of coming up with something really creative and different.
Special mention goes to Becca Morgan for being someone pre-high school aged that came up with a solid story. I was really surprised when I read her bio and found out how young she is. If she keeps up the writing she will have some serious chops once she reaches adulthood.
My two favorite stories had to be "Mr. Hanson Goes to the Lab", which packs a nice little wallop at the end that totally surprised me and "Thanks for the Memories", which left me wanting more from the author about the archaeologies and other scientists trying to dig into a past others are trying to keep buried. Several other stories really did entertain and only a few didn't really impress me all that much. Overall, this anthology was enjoyable enough despite my desire for more than the thirteen stories that filled its pages.

Compilation of short stories about scientific experiment, which went wrong in direction of zombie menace. Quality of stories vary from trashy to very good. Read once and then forget it.
