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.
