The collection begins with W.B. Seabrook’s “Dead Men Working in the Cane Fields”, the first account of zombies ever written and purported to be “entirely true”! And the fun doesn't stop there! Three of my all-time favorite authors are in this collection - Stephen King, Joe R. Lansdale, and Edgar Allan Poe! Other authors within that I've enjoyed reading in the past include H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch, Robert Matheson, and Michael Marshall Smith. Truly, an all-star line-up!
The only one in here that I thought was a stinker was also the longest - "Z is for Zombie" by Theodore Roscoe. If you grow tired after 600 pages or so, I suggest skipping this last entry!

But BEWARE! “Eat Me” by Robert McCammon is nasty! Like it churned my stomach nasty! Eww…

Some zombie factoids I learned in these pages - they can come from the West Indies. Haiti. Africa. Lots of the time they are simply used as cheap labor! No salt rule (don't feed zombies anything with salt!). No meat rule.

A definition of a zombie appears in “Pigeons From Hell” by Robert E. Howard - “It’s a monster, something more and less than a human being, created by the magic that spawns in black swamps and jungles - well we’ll see.”

“When you sup with the devil, be sure you have a long spoon.”
