R. Martin, Clive Barker, Poppy Z. Brite, Neil Gaiman, Joe Hill, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Joe R. Lansdale, The Living Dead covers the broad spectrum of zombie fiction.

 Recycled but strong collection September 22, 2008
8 out of 15 found this review helpful
I was extremely disappointed when I received this and found I had several of the stories already. The Clive Barker story is 20 years old, the King story is from way back as well.
Granted,exceptional authors and a great anthology, but nothing new here, just a collection of previously published work.
 Zombie-tastic! September 26, 2008

Yes, some of the stories that are in the book have been published before in other compilations, the editor even states this in the beginning, however, 'The Living Dead' is an absolute must-have for anyone who is a fan of zombies. You can not go wrong here.
I would have paid this price if only for Dan Simmons short: 'This Years Class Picture'. I cried...Is that even possible in a zombie short? I can't believe that Dan Simmons name isn't on the cover, after all, A Winter Haunting is like one of the best ghost stories ever.

Great book, poorly made. We bought this book new and the pages have all popped out from the binding. If you're buying this for a gift I suggest looking for a hardcover.
