Finished another book and this one was great.  An anthology of zombie stories!  New, classic, twists, different points of view... so many styles to choose from.  Like with every anthology, I find I loved some, was okay with some, and hated some.  For sake of brevity, I am just going to highlight my favorite stories: "Lazarus" by John Connolly -- a retelling of the classic Biblical story, but with a twist

"In the Dust" by Tim Lebbon -- classic survivor story set in a small village; think 28 Days Later

"Life Sentence" by Kelley Armstrong -- a very rich man looking for immortality, who wouldn't think zombie?

"Delice" by Holly Newstein -- voodoo style zombies, very classic

"Ghost Trap" by Rick Hautala -- a long forgotten danger waits at the bottom of the harbor and Jeff finds it

"Kids and Their Toys" by James A. Moore -- kids discover a zombie, they get themselves into a world of mess, interesting progression of a plot

And my absolute favorite, the last story in the book "Twittering from the Circus of the Dead" by Joe Hill -- told entirely through tweets, with one hell of an ending... enjoy!

State of the list:

• Bespelling Jane -- Mary Balogh, Colleen Cleason, Susan Krinard, and Janet Mullany
• Holidays are Hell --Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Marjorie M. Liu, and Vicki Petersson
• The New Dead -- edited by Christopher Golden
• This Christmas --Jennifer Coburn and Liz Ireland
• Dashing Through the Mall -- Sherryl Woods, Darlene Gardner, and Holly Jacobs
• The Geeks' Guide to World Domination -- Garth Sundem (starting today)
• The Lightkeeper's Daughter -- Colleen Coble (going to not read; wait until Jan. 1 to include in Historical Fiction Reading Challenge)
• Rogue Angel: Destiny -- Alex Archer
• ArchEnemy -- Frank Beddor (going to not read now; wait until Jan. 1 to include in Fantasy Reading Challenge)

Not as far as I thought I would be, but I've gotten distracted the last few days with other projects and of course trying to enjoy my time with J.
