This is an anthology of twelve zombie stories with a difference: each story has zombie animals, not just humans. The animals range from birds to kangaroos and from monkeys to mosquitoes. Sometimes the source of the zombieism is a virus, sometimes mutations, sometimes satanic rituals. All are bloody, gory, and graphic- frequently way too much so for my taste. I ended up not even liking most of the stories but there were a couple that I thought were very good- ‘SWAT’ really gave me the heebie-jeebies and ‘One Man and His Dog’ created a very sympathetic character, one I could feel empathy for. Those two are definitely worth a read. Fans of slasher movies will probably appreciate the rest. ( )
