Praise for THE LIVING DEAD:
‘The best collection of zombie fiction stories ever’ – Barnes & Noble.com

‘The Living Dead contains stories of heartbreak, drama, and man’s eternal struggle against himself. The focus doesn’t fall squarely on violence and horror, which earns it a place among the best of zombie fiction’ – Robert Kirkman, writer of THE WALKING DEAD and MARVEL ZOMBIES
‘A superb reprint anthology that runs the gamut of zombie stories . . . There’s some great storytelling for zombie fans as well as newcomers’ – Publishers Weekly
