![]() Simmons has always bounced between genres and I’ve particularly enjoyed his work in Horror ( Summer of Night, Children of the Night, Carrion Comfort ) and this piece is no exception. This Year’s Class Picture by Dan Simmons leads off the anthology and tells of a teacher who struggles to educate the Zombie Youth of America. Pulled from various past anthologies (like the seminal Book of the Dead ) as well as magazines, Adams has brought together an impressive array of stories and writers. Zombies have been a fixture in Horror / Science Fiction / Fantasy for quite some time and the 30+ stories in this volume show just how wide-ranging the zombie metaphor can be used to effectively tell terrific stories. ![]() ![]() What better way to get ready for Hallowe’en than to read some great Zombie fiction? Well, we have editor John Joseph Adams and the fine folks at Night Shade Books to thank for such a timely and terrific themed anthology, The Living Dead.
