I won this ebook, along with Mountain Dead, in the Early Reviewers program. They were a lot of fun to read. Some are funny (“Black Friday” by Karin Fuller), some are creepy ("Calling Death" by Jonathan Maberry), and some made me cringe ("Times is Tough in Musky Holler" by John Skipp & Dori Miller). "Long Days to Come" by K. Allen Wood and "Spoiled" by Paul Moore were two post-apocalyptic stories that I wished would keep going. "Sleeper" by Tim Lebbon prompted me to buy his "Dark Gods" short story collection. Overall, this is a good selection of writers and stories. It includes some big names in horror, like Tim Lebbon, Steve Rasnic Tem, John Skipp, and more, but also some lesser known authors. I love to find new horror writers to read, and this is a great way to do it. I really enjoyed this book. ( ) I read this on my Kobo, and I will start off by saying that I won this on a giveaway from LibraryThing - so thanks goes out to Apex Pub and LibraryThing first off. This is a fun and diverse collection of zombie short stories from some of the top notch authors in the horror/dark fiction genre. I will start this brief review with this disclaimer: I am not much of a fan of zombies. So, my star rating does reflect that otherwise add a star!!! The stories in this collection vary in size from very short to more lengthy tales typical of many anthologies. Some of these were fantastic little shorts, others I did not like, but again, zombies is an area I usually shy away from. There were 3 that really stood out, and I enjoyed a lot! They were When Granny Comes Marchin' Home Again - this was a fun read - couldn't stop turning the pages on this one. It had some humour to it, and of course some craziness to it. Company's Coming was also a tale that I really enjoyed as well. I would also like to point out that I was a big fan of Sitting Up with the Dead as well. I don't want to spoil anything for those about to read this, so I won't get into any detail into any of the stories. I will say this - this is a great collection for any fan of zombie fiction ('cuz they are fiction right??? or...?). Each story has it's own unique qualities, characters, and story lines. From wacky zombie chicken parts, to typical zombie gore and shootouts, Appalachian Undead takes the reader deep into the heart of Appalachia, and will have you checking behind every tree, around every mountain, and thinking twice about passing the mines of this region. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Sisältää nämä:Calling Death (tekijä: Jonathan Maberry)
Almost Heaven...or is it? The mountain's enduring beauty holds something dark. Something dreadful. Something hungry for our flesh, our brains. Something dead yet not quite dead, driven by magic as old as the coal seams and the hills. Come see the dark side of the mountains where the undead walk. Appalachia stands against an ever-hungry, never-tiring army created by the region's own mysteries and lore. Appalachian Undead collects intriguing zombie tales by some of the best names in horror, including John Skipp, Jonathan Maberry, Gary A. Braunbeck, Tim Lebbon, Elizabeth Massie, Lucy Snyder, Bev Vincent, Tim Waggoner, and many more.

Browne (author of Breathers: A Zombie's Lament) Special Afterword by Fangoria Magazine editor Rebekah McKendry Blurbs "Appalachian Undead has the best frights you can find in life. The nightmares next door, the ones that will haunt and live inside your head because you can't stop thinking of the possibilities. Proceed to read if you dare." --Tony Todd, star of Night of the Living Dead (1990), Final Destination, and The Rock "Appalachian Undead is a no-brainer when it comes to zombie anthologies. It grabs you by your innards and won't let go " --Scott Spiegel, screenwriter of Evil Dead II and From Dusk Till Dawn II "A fresh and varied approach to the living dead, brought to life by a great crop of writers who were obviously energized by the idea of taking the ultimate survival scenario and staging it in a place where survival has always been a hard won achievement for anyone brave enough to live there." --Fearnet, Blu Gilliand Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
