4.5 out of 5 stars. Letter Rating: A

I was riveted all the way to the end even though I’m not typically a fan of the genre. You find out enough about the various characters to be rooting for them, and then you’ll be deliciously horrified when the unthinkable happens. The descriptions of the zombies and dangerous situations were graphic and paint a grim, chilling picture of what life would be like for the everyday person if the zombie apocalypse happened tomorrow.

At the beginning of a couple of stories, I was a little confused because it didn’t seem like the beginning of a zombie story. However, as you read through it, you start connecting the dots and realizing how it ties in. Each one had a different premise, and some were very creative and out-of-the-box.

Kudos to all the writers involved! It takes a lot to keep my interest in one zombie story, much less ten!
