The Living Dead

I went to go vote early today and in honor of that I offer you “Death and Suffrage,” by Dale Bailey. A young man full of ideals who works for a presidential candidate gets emotional on an episode of CNN Crossfire discussing the death of a 6yo girl due to gun violence. Afterwards everyone is blaming him for being behind in the race, that is until the dead rise from their graves and they vote. They vote for his candidate. They become our 👇🏼

Reggie conscience and reminder that history is never dead. It‘s a great story. Happy Friday, Littens! 1y

Bookzombie Happy Friday! 🖤 1y

CarolynM Sounds like evidence of voter fraud to me🤣🤣🤣 1y

Reggie @CarolynM in the story it gets taken to the Supreme Court and their votes get struck down. But then the MC gets his crew to find the 6 yo zombie girl who died to gun violence and makes an ad with her and it wins them the election despite how controversial it sounds. There‘s also this backstory to the MC that‘s pretty deep. It‘s a good story. 🖤🧟🧟‍♀️ 1y

1. Tagged. It‘s a huge book of zombie short story fiction. And they discuss anything and everything.

2. Oof. Right now, probably Train to Busan, but 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, and Day of the Dead (1985) hold a place in my zombie heart.

3. The Complex by Brian Keene. These neighbors who are strangers in an apartment complex have to band together to survive zombies. There‘s even a chapter written by a cat. I dug it.

TheNeverendingTBR Thanks for your contribution! @Reggie 🧟‍♀️ 3y

Reggie @TheNeverendingTBR “Home Delivery” the one about the girl whose father is abusive to her and the mother. Then she gets pregnant during the zombie apocalypse. It‘s pretty good. 3y

TheNeverendingTBR @Reggie Been a long time since I read

Nightmares and Dreamscapes

Reggie @TheNeverendingTBR I love that book. Crouch End is my favorite in there. In the back he gives inspirations for every story except 2, I think and Crouch End is one of them. That makes it a little more scary for me. 3y

TheNeverendingTBR @Reggie Mines was The End of the Whole Mess and The Night Flier 👌 3y

NikkiM5 The Complex sounds awesome 3y

udyaa @Reggie ....u r also interested in reading scarybooks??? 3y

Reggie @NikkiM5 I enjoyed it. He has another zombie book called The Rising and that one is DARK. 3y

Reggie @udyaa I read a little of everything but I do love horror. 🖤💀 3y

udyaa @Reggie I too love horror books 💞☠️👻🖤 3y

BiblioLitten I‘d love to read The Complex. 3y

#WinterWonderland #FirstSnowOnBrooklyn I went with song lyrics and the nostalgia and regret for the couldawouldashouldas. In this zombie anthology there‘s a short story, Bobby Conroy Comes Back From the Dead by Joe Hill, where a failed comedian/actor has moved back home where while he is a zombie extra on the set of Dawn of the Dead he sees the girl he left behind all those years ago...and her son. Who also happen to be zombie extras.

This is why I check the used bookstore every week 😍

I have always loved zombie movies. I grew up watching them because they are my mom‘s favorite. I‘ve only recently (within the past 2 years) begun to read horror novels and I‘m not sure what took me so long. I read The Girl With All the Gifts and thought it was brilliant and terrifying. I‘m excited to read more.

Reggie Omg!!! I love that zombie anthology!!!! I hope you enjoy it. Those authors use zombies to talk about so much. The first story, my dad read it and he totally felt it represented being a teacher. 6y

RohitSawant 😍😍😍 6y

GarthRanzz That‘s one of my favourite zombie anthologies! And I‘ve enjoyed those Hard Case imprint books. I like the retro noire of them. Great finds! 6y

YouReadMyEyes @Reggie @GarthRanzz Glad to hear you both love this one! I was super excited when I stumbled upon it. I‘m beginning to love short stories. Such a fun and easy way to escape briefly. 6y

I'm sorry, last one I swear, I just ❤️ zombies. #Zombies are just so versatile in the ways you can use them to talk about a subject. The stories in this zombie short story anthology use them to talk about teacher frustration and burnout, about the importance of voting, about a woman's right to choose, about love and heartbreak, and then there are some just good old fashioned badass zombie stories. Something for everyone in here.

Cinfhen I agree, zombies are so much more versatile than werewolves 🙃😉😘 7y

minkyb I wish we could all meet over a drink and discuss, especially if we can include vampires! 7y
