"When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth!" From White Zombie to Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil to World War Z, zombies have invaded popular culture, becoming the monsters that best express the fears and anxieties of the modern west. Gathering together the best zombie literature of the last three decades from many of today's most renowned authors of fantasy, speculative fiction, and horror, including Stephen King, Harlan Ellison, Robert Silverberg, George R. R. Martin, Clive Barker, Poppy Z. Brite, Neil Gaiman, Joe Hill, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Joe R. Lansdale, The Living Dead covers the broad spectrum of zombie fiction.

Are you kidding me (2009-01-08)
Customer Review : 1
The title of this book is bordering on false advertising. Almost all of them have nothing to do with actual "zombies." It actually has a lot more to do about "boredom." A few stories in it are pretty good I can admit that (stephen king's in particular, of course) but even that didnt really have anything to do with zombies. The zombie sub-genre is my absolute favorite so i thought this was a sure thing...WRONG WRONG WRONG. Epic failure.

Enjoyed the variety and fresh ideas. Not all the stories were very interesting though some were excellent. Worth buying and rereading after some time passes.

this book is loaded with all kinds of tales of the undead. Love stories, dramas, plays, and just flat out snuff literature. a fine addition to any zombie lovers book collection.
Dull as Dishwater (2008-12-22)
Customer Review : 1
Though this collection has a couple of decent zombie stories, most of them range from dish water dull to insipid. Even then the decent stories were re-treads from earlier books.
At least one of the "Zombie" stories doesn't even involve actual zombies, but just an ex-con running around talking about zombies. I finished the entire story waiting for it to get better, but alas no reward. That was 15 minutes of my life I want back. Ugghh.
Nothing special at all (2008-12-20)
Customer Review : 2
This book was pretty boring to read. Several of the stories had little to do with zombies (especially Some Zombie Contigency Plans by Kelly Link), or if they had zombies they were minor parts to the story overall.
Out of the 34 stories or so there were maybe 5 or 6 good ones.
This anthology was a waste of money.
