Not your normal zombie stories...

Edwin Stark has done it again, managing to write a collection of short stories that take the normal zombie story and give it a twist.

The first story, "Aftermath", is the closest to a traditional zombie story. Set approximately 10 years after the zombie outbreak, it shows how the survivors live on a day to day basis, trying to put their civilization back together while fighting the few zombies that remain. However, this story has a twist, so make sure that you don't assume that all zombie stories, or all zombies, are alike.

The second story, "Zombie Cab", is a short story about a cab driver in the middle of the night in New York City, and how supermarket tabloids may actually have a bit of truth to their stories. Don't worry, Elvis is still dead.

The third and last story, "When Zombies Roamed Venezuela", is a complete tongue-in-cheek look at what would happen in Edwin found himself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.  I absolutely love his descriptions of zombies versus political followers, and the rest of his descriptions of Venezuela. Though the underwater hotel can certainly advertise an indoor pool!

I would highly recommend this collection of shorts, if only for Aftermath itself and for the completely hilarious third story. And if you like Aftermath, Edwin has already written a sequel of sorts, "Aftermatch - Episode 2."
