klwilliamsEvery story in this fun anthology has romance, comedy (or at least humor of various sorts), and zombies. I wouldn't have sought out this combination, since I don't normally think of romance and comedy with (un)dead people, but a couple of my friends really liked this book so I checked it out.
The first story, "Generation Z" by Bear Weiter, set a good tone for the rest of the book, with its clever, tongue in cheek awareness of human (and undead) nature. The dialogue in "Faye of the Dead" by Holly Quinn was perfect, as her pizza server heroine describes her life and her priorities. "Living Dead in Miami" by Jeannie Warner made good use of the internet as a story medium as her main character's emotional life pulls her through the zombie outbreak she's part of. These were my favorites, but the others didn't disappoint.
This is a fun anthology, and I hear there's even a sequel. My one complaint is that there are a number of typos and misspellings throughout the version I read (Kindle), though the stories themselves were tight and interesting. I recommend it.
