By Jove, who doesn't love a good anthology?! I do. And if it's chock full 'o zombies - all the merrier I say.
Seriously, this was an excellent collection of stories! I curled up one evening with this baby and it was like opening a fresh can of roasted, mixed nuts WITHOUT any peanuts to slow a body down. It was that hard to stop reading and get some stupid sleep ;P
So, if you like anthologies, and if you LOVE zombies [well, like DUH ... who doesn't?] then
this is one you need to read.
Buy or Borrow - though I do think it makes a cozy addition to one's own personal library~
My favorite story in the book: Herbert West - Reanimator by H.P. Lovecraft [love the Cthulhu man]
Have you seen the Reanimator movie? It's made of cheesetasticness and needs to be watched! It's campy and hilarious. I'm putting this one on my reading list.
ReplyDeleteooOOoo - love those old campy movies! Was Vincent Price in it?? I might have seen this years ago, or maybe the kids rented it. Either way I'll see if I can find it for Halloween :D
ReplyDeleteHa! Love the analogy. Begone, peanuts!
ReplyDeleteHehe. Sounds like a fun anthology!
the cthulhu man sounds most interesting!

@ Vii - if you've not read much Lovecraft you are in for such a treat!!! Nothing beats the Cthulhu tales ;D
