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.

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.

4 of 5 Stars Review Copy

The Appalachian mountains run from Georgia to Maine, covering a lot of ground from a geography standpoint. In much the same way, editors Eugene Johnson and Jason Sizemore, have covered a good deal of ground with their twenty selections for this zombie anthology.

There are granny moonshiners, zombie gators, zombie gunfighters and many more. I like how different writers come at the zombie story from different directions and have different names for the undead. There's The Spread, The Cold Ones, Shufflers and even friendly zombies (watch out for the friendly zombies - they're sneaky).

There's a good mix of familiar names in the horror genre and several stories from names that are new to me.

Here’s the table of contents in no particular order…

“When Granny Comes Marchin’ Home Again” by Elizabeth Massie
“Calling Death” by Jonathan Maberry
“Hide and Seek” by Tim Waggoner
“Twilight of the Zombie Game Preserve…” by S. Clayton Rhodes
“Being in Shadow” by Maurice Broaddus
“Sitting up with the Dead- Bev Vincent
“The Girl and the Guardian” by Simon McCaffery
“Repent, Jessie Shimmer! -Lucy Snyder
“Almost Heaven -Michael Paul Gonzalez
“On Stagger” by G. Cameron Fuller
“We Take Care of Our Own” by John Everson
“Sleeper” by Tim Lebbon
“Reckless” by Eliot Parker
“Company’s Coming” by Ronald Kelly
“Black Friday” by Karin Fuller
“Spoiled” by Paul Moore
“Miranda Jo’s Girl” by Steve Rasnic Tem
“Times Is Tough in Musky Holler” by John Skipp & Dori Miller
“Long Days to Come” by K. Allen Wood
“Brother Hollis Gives His Final Sermon from a Rickety Make-Shift Pulpit in the Remains of a Smokehouse that now Serves as His Church” by Gary A. Braunbeck

The first short, “When Granny Comes Marchin’ Home Again” by Elizabeth Massie, was so well received she went and turned it into the novel, Desper Hollow, which is also available from Apex Publications.

Speaking of Elizabeth Massie, her husband, Courtney Skinner, is the artist responsible for the cover on this book. Nice work, Courtney.

Not every one of these stories is great, but there is certainly enough here to make Appalachian Undead an enjoyable read for zombie fans, even if you're city folk like me.

Originally published in 2012, Appalachian Undead, was taken off the market due to some kind of dispute at that time. Truthfully, none of that matters anymore, because now it's back and is available from Apex Publications in a variety of print and e-book formats.

If you still haven't made up your mind, the fine folks at Apex Publications have published a chapbook sampler of 4 stories that didn't get into the book called, Mountain Dead. If, for no other reason, get it for "Let Me Come In," a zombified retelling of "The Three Little Pigs."

For now Mountain Dead is available for FREE. Just go to http://www.apexbookcompany.com/free-book/ and click on the Smashwords link to download in your preferred e-book format.
