The end of the world has come and gone. The dead have risen, and they've won. No more rallying of the troops. No miracle cure or weapon. Just lots of dead people walking around. If the living dead won, what would the world be like? This collection of eighteen tales-including entries from David Wellington, Jack Ketchum, and Gary A. Braunbeck-take up the call to answer that question. People go to work. Have sex. Get drunk. Fall in love. Take revenge. Raise families. Watch TV. Laugh. Mourn. Murder. Pray. The world is dead, but life goes on. Featuring:

* David Wellington, "Dead Man's Land"
* Jack Ketchum, "The Visitor"
* Gary A. Braunbeck, "Glorietta"
* Bobbie Metevier, "The Loneliest Man in the World"
* William Carl, "Genuflect"

Finally picked up my copy today. It was the only copy I saw t the Borders by my works, so hopefully that's a good sign!

I'll start it up sometime later this week, I think.

Dude, I was shocked how many examples of zed fictions I saw when I was at the bookstore this afternoon! Some of it is definitely not new, but surely some of it must be. The Permuted Press label was definitely on a few of them, but there were single novels and compilations from other sources, as well.
