Zombie books

Skipp and Spector's Book of the Dead was a damned good read. It's a collection of short stories by various authors, all taking Romero's original NotLD as a starting point, and running in whichever direction they could with it.

There was a sequel, as well, though I can't recommend it, simply 'cause I never managed to track it down and read it m'self.

You happen to recall if any of the stories/characters from the first book were followed up on in the second?

Now that I think about it, though, damned few human protagonists survived in the first book, did they?

Ah well. I'll have to track it down at the library, if I can. Still Dead was the title, wasn't it?

Aside: My poor copy of the original is rapidly becoming a zombie book; the frigging thing is disintegrating like a walking corpse. Half the pages have fallen loose from the binding.

You are sooooo correct. It took me a long time to land my own copy. A lot of the writers in there show up in the yearly MAMMOTH BOOK OF HORROR. My personal favorite Joe R. Lansdale delivers a wicked post-apocolyptic zombie story in BOOK OF THE DEAD that was (had to have been) ripped off in the new Dawn of the Dead movie extras
