Holiday of the Dead by Various Authors

This is anthology of 38 zombie stories with holidays as a theme. Be it vacation holidays or public holidays.

I will put my hand up and say I am not a fan of the zombie genre on the whole. I have read a couple of zombie novellas and enjoyed them, and this. This has changed my mind totally. This is the perfect introduction to the genre for people unsure. Bite sized chunks of zombie goodness that are perfect to dip in and out of. There is also a bonus story from 'Night of the Living Dead' co-author, John Russo. This one is not a zombie story but it is a very clever little story nonetheless! In conclusion, this is a belter of an antho I totally recommend.

  2. It was Blogger's fault--there's the review!

    I'm not a fan of zombies either, but thanks for pointing out one that can change non-fans' minds!

    1. No Norma, twas my fault this time. I changed the title slightly and managed to save a blank doc with realising! Luckily someone drew my attention to it or it could have been REALLY embarassing......
