Mondo Zombie
by Edited by John Skipp
Ten years in the making, this collection of heroes and horrors among the undead will haunt your nightmares and have
you re-thinking your concept of reality. Remember George Romero's Night of the Living Dead? The plots are
relatively limited; in some of the stories, the good guys fight the zombies, and in others the good guys are the
Zombies. There is plenty of flesh-eating gore and the terror of a world turned upside down. Your favorite horror
writers - some of the finest minds ever to dream the dark fantastic - are here with their contributions to your
future nightmares. Jack Ketchum, Yvonne Navarro, Steve Rasnic Tem & Melanie Tem, Douglas E. Winter, and the
late, greats, Robert Bloch, and Richard Laymon among others, have turned their imaginations and talents to this
dark fantasy collection. John Skipp, the editor, contributes his own "God Save the Queen", written with Marc
Levinthal. Alan M. Clark provides the gruesomely-marvelous artwork for the cover and the interior of this
beautifully bound, Cemetery Dance publication.
I had to read this book in small bites, a couple of stories at a time, and wait for the goose-bumps to subside,
but if you thrive on supernatural stories of the living dead walking the earth, you may be able to read it cover
to cover in one long, terror-filled night. |
