Another title goes in the shopping list

One of the titles that went straight to my shopping list the instant I saw it is the upcoming anthology edited by Stephen Jones and which will be released in December by Ulysses Press, “The Dead That Walk”. But the fact that Stephen Jones is one of my favorite editors is not the only reason for the inclusion of this anthology on my shopping list. Looking over the line-up of “The Dead That Walk”, that I found on Stephen Jones' website, offered me other great reasons.

The Dead Walk Among Us! Of all the ghoulish monsters, zombies are the most horrific. Reanimated corpses of real people—perhaps even a former friend or relative—these undead brethren rise from the grave to devour your delicious, living flesh. Far more sophisticated than the brain-eating mobs popularized in movies, zombies are as diverse as living humans, and this collection presents the complete blood-rich history of zombie literature set in the early 19th century, the Great Depression and the futuristic zombie apocalypse of tomorrow. Bringing together the greatest zombie authors—Stephen King, Richard Matheson, Clive Barker, Harlan Ellison, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Ramsey Campbell, Joe R. Lansdale, Kim Newman, Michael Marshall Smith, Joe Hill, and many others—The Dead That Walks offers terrifying tales of dread that will drag you screaming into a nightmare world where dissolution does not mean the end and those who survive are next on the menu.
