Okay, so two of the stories in here are mine, so obviously I'm going to like the book. Having said that, I really enjoyed the rest of the book, too. For the most part, the writing is quite good, there are a lot of original ideas and it was, well, fun!
So, yeah. If you like zombie stories, definitely read this. If you like good, short fiction and don't mind gore, read it, too. If you don't like zombies or gore... why ever not?

I'll give it 5 stars. The publisher was a pleasure to work with and I hope you all enjoy my bit of flash. I have many friends in this book, so I know it is packed with great writers of the zombie genre.
A Quick Bite of Flesh is an anthology of zombie flash fiction. A collection of 55 short stories (most not over two pages) written by a variety of authors. There’s short, not sweet at all, and to the point, usual the tip of an ax blade. Some are gory, some are heart-rending (to make a questionable pun), some have pathos, a few very black and bloody humor. If you like the Undead…the rotting, mindless, eat-your-brains shambling, shuffling kind, that is…you’ll love these tales.

I enjoyed this collection of zombie tales written by various authors. There was a little bit of everything from mer-zombies to zombie pigs! Some of these stories are told from the vantage point of survivors and others from the vantage point of the undead. If you're a fan of the walking dead, you'll definitely find something in here that will delight your dark side.

55 Shades of Zombies
An anthology of 55 very short stories with a zombie theme, this book explores a myriad of possible outcomes and coping mechanisms.
I wasn’t at all sure I was going to like this book, not being an aficionado of zombies, but I read it because three of my favourite authors – Tara Fox Hall, Tori Ridgewood and T Fox Dunham had contributed. I’m very glad I did.

So many zombies, so little time… This estimable collection impressed me for its creativity in exploring the who's, whats, wheres, and whys of the undead. We have zombies on the seashore, and zombies in space. Zombies in the future, and zombies in the past. What goes on in the decaying mind of a shuffling walker? How much humanity remains when the hunger takes over? The humanity of an inhumane situation is dissected carefully by talented authors in pages of gleefully gore-spattered, sinewy yarns....more
I picked up this book for 3 reasons:
1. I know one of the authors and I picked it up to support them.
2. Its about zombies. Zombies are cool.
3. Flash fiction is a new format for me and I thought I'd give it a whirl.
Win-win-win Right?
In. Spades.
With only 1000 or so words to play around with, the chances that a reader might skip past you are pretty high, so a flash fiction author really needs to bring their "A-game" to the party. These folks did...for the most part. There were a couple of stories in...more

Okay, I'm not giving myself 5 stars but I will give this book 5 stars. Just to be clear.

Fun book of zombie flash fiction. Caveat: I'm in this!
I'm not really a fan of flash fiction. While some of the stories were well written and quite entertaining, the short format doesn't allow me to care about the characters or what happens at all. Very proud of my sister though, for having a story published in this anthology.
