Undead: Ten Tales of Zombies Review

Welcome to the world of the not-quite-living.

While zombies still have physical bodies, their minds are irrevocably changed. No longer governed by a conscience, incapable of reason, unrestrained by values of right and wrong, they often follow primitive instincts. If their new focus is overwhelming hunger, they let nothing get in the way of their urge to feed.
Confronted by a zombie, how would you defend yourself and those you love? What if it was your friend, relative or spouse, with remnants of their old personality - would you protect them or kill them? Is a zombie an individual with human feelings and rights, or is it a menace to be destroyed?

In this story collection, ten authors share their visions of the undead, each with their own style of storytelling and their own imagination of how ghouls may impact our lives. 

Some of these zombies have been infected by virus-spreading bites, some were raised from their graves, and some have chosen the undead state for reasons of their own. Most have their wits about them, but their priorities have changed. They are single-minded in pursuit of what they need... which may or may not be living human flesh.

The authors come from around the globe. They write variously in British or American English, with different word choices, grammar, spelling and punctuation. Their tales range from short flashes to long yarns, from fantasy to science fiction, from funny to macabre and from thought-provoking to scary.

See which story of these ten appeals most to your taste. But beware: Some of these ghouls are deceptive, and by the time you realise the danger, it may be too late.

 Undead: Ten Tales of Zombies is the 2nd book that I've had the opportunity to review for Rayne Hall. I found all the stories enjoyable and engaging I love how each author brings their own twist to each original story. My favorite from the collection was Furzby Holt by Jonathan Broughton its about a census taker in an English Village who finds out that the Village is inhabited with Zombies I found this story to be funny and a bit eerie my other favorite was I’ll love ya, forever, but… By April Grey I don't want to give to much of the story away but it's about a husband that comes home after being buried for no more than three days this was a quirky and humorous story. It was refreshing to read something different and unique instead of a regular traditional zombie story even though I do love them. I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more books from Rayne Hall.
