Rate Appertaining To Books The Living Dead (The Living Dead #1)

Not for me.Couldn't get into this book. None of the stories gripped me. Disappointed, especially because I had high hopes for it.

I never knew there were so many ways to tell a zombie story. I pretty much thought that the George Romero version was it dead people wandering around holding their arms out in front of them and calling out braaaaaaains, looking to munch on the living. I never did know why they had to hold their arms that way, but they all did I thought.John Joseph Adams has chosen his material wisely in The Living Dead, a collection of short stories about zombies by some of the biggest and best names in the

Lots of good zombie stories, but not all fall into the traditional George Romero type stories. For example, Joe Hill's story is about two high school sweethearts who reunite while playing extras in Romero's filming of Dawn of The Dead. A lot of great material, but someone just looking for different takes on the Romero style zombies may be disappointed.

Rated 2 star based solely on the few stories I read by my preferred authors.None of these short stories were all that great to me. Each was mediocre at best.Sex, Death and Sunshine by Clive BarkerProbably the best of the short stories that I read. The man really knows how to compare theater to blow jobs.Those Who Seek Forgiveness by Laurell K. HamiltonA peek into Anita's every day job. Interesting, but you're not missing anything in the series if you don't read it.Bobby Conroy Comes Back from

Dan Simmons's This Year's Class PictureAs the intro story to The Living Dead, I came into this read with high expectations. Dan places the reader into the life of a remarkably interesting woman, on a particularly important day. An elderly school teacher, and potentially the last teacher on Earth, impressed me with her resolve to survive. They say you have to keep your mind working or you'll lose it. Well, she does so by maintaining her teaching routine with a full class of children zombies. The

Some stories are excellent and some thoroughly suck so I have rated the book overall 3. Below I have graded each story separately with a brief comment. This year's class picture (Dan Simmons) **** unique and interesting idea. I only wish the behaviour management plans were allowed for y9s be so much easier to keep them sitting still if you could chain them up without having to spend months on operant conditioning them.Some Zombie Contingency Plans (Kelly Link) * truly dreadful. Not much story

I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point a very large portion of the horror fiction writer community decided that to write a good zombie story, some person in the story needs to have sex with a zombie. Or a zombie has to have sex with a person. Or the zombies need to have sex with each other.About 1/3 of the way through this book I was starting to roll my eyes and say to myself, "Oh god, not ANOTHER person getting it on with a walking corpse..."This phenomena is present in about 60-70%
