I am almost done with this book and I am really enjoying it so far. A lot better than you would think, given the number of stories and authors. Interpretation and perspective of the "Zombies" is pretty interesting in this collection of stories. They are not all the same and that was surprising and fun at the same time. I do have my favorite stories though and some stories are like, "what the hell".

I really enjoy it so far. I think King was back to form on his entry with great description and humor thrown in.
It's a very diverse group of stories. Personally, I thought some of them fell flat. But it is definitely worth your while for the reimagined version of 'Our Town', the teacher and her zombie students, Martin's Sci-Fi spin version of 'the meathouse man' and Silverberg's Operatic Zombie. And can't forget 'She's taking her tits to her grave'! Very diverse and, in the main, very good.
I read this book a couple months ago and it is excellent. Good variety of takes on zombie fiction, nice selection of authors, entertaining stories. Sure there are a couple misses but everybody's taste varies. The Living Dead is certainly worth a bite ;)
