Curing Khang Yeo by Deidre Gould: A very poignant and sad tale of what it might be like if the cure for the zombie apocalypse was ever discovered. Very good!

The World After by Angela Cavanaugh: This read like the Walking Dead with a few major twists. It was great fun to read and was very well written. Definitely in my top five in the collection so far.

Sin Eater by Stacy Ericson: I'm not too sure of the relevance of this story to the overall collection. There were no zombies of any kind, and it was basically just a very short story about a wake.

Girl Running by Kris Holt: A love story in the final days, this was another great short. It's also another one I wouldn't have minded seeing more of.

Free Fall by Peter Cawdron: Ah, wow! A zombie apocalypse tale that begins in space and ends like the Walking Dead. This was an excellent little short, which I would like to see a whole lot more of. Thanks for a great read, Peter!

Hybrid by Geoffrey Wakeling: Hybrid was interesting. The zombies are not entirely traditional, and it was cool to see another unique take on them. This one was more fast-paced and action/adventure feeling than some of the other stories in this collection.

The Soulless by Lesley Smith: Another new take on zombies. This is another story that did a great job of making me want to read more by this author.

Her- by David Adams: A sort of fan-fic tribute to Hugh Howey's I Zombie, Her raises some seriously thought provoking issues as well as the hair on the back of your neck. Very well written.

Gloria (from I Zombie)- by Hugh Howey: I have read this book in its entirety, and it is a fantastic read. Gloria was an excellent selection for this collection, and remains one of my favorite chapters from I Zombie.

Z-Ball- by Will Swardstrom: Another unique and fun take on zombies unlike anything I've read before. This collection continues to impress with each story. Will's story will definitely end up in my top 5 though. A fun combo of sports and murder!

The Fall of the Percedus - by Jennifer Foehner wells: a cautionary tale of what can happen when the scientific method is rushed. This story was a little hard to follow. It would probably make more sense if I had read Fluency, her first novel, before reading this. Not a bad story, but it needed a little more explanation.

Kamika-Z by C A Boore: Finally, a clever new take on zombies. This was really a fun short, but it has the potential to be a fantastic full-length novel. This is the best of the bunch so far!

Six Days - By Theresa Kay: A different kind of take on the "Zombie Virus" style of apocalypse. This was a fun read, and I really felt myself pulling for Sarah.

Vindica - By Ann Christy: A cool little story about what happens when privilege is taken too far. I love Ann's work, and this story was no exception. Great read!
