March 1st means what did I read last month?

The Undead 3: Flesh Feast, edited by D. L. Snell and Travis Adkins
Bestial, by William D. Carl
Monstrous, edited by Ryan C. Thomas
Season of Rot, by Eric S. Brown

And today I started:

You hold in your hands what is perhaps the most explicit and overt anthology of original horror fiction ever assembled.

Each of the stories in this anthology is set in a world where the dead have risen to eat the living, and each author has his own intimate vision of what those days will be like: in the brilliant and caustic "On the Far Side of the Cadillac Desert with Dead Folks," Joe R. Lansdale spins what should be a traditional western yarn about a lawman tracking a badman--the deadly dead, however, give that tradition a special twist; Stephen King's pregnant heroine in "Home Delivery" learns the exorbitant price of survival and of patience; Robert R. McCammon's "Eat Me" answers all the questions about love among the newly risen; and Douglas E. Winter's "Less Than Zombie" allows us a very unhealthy peek at the pampered, exclusive, and totally lifeless life-styles of the rich and famous.

Together these stories are a stream of timeless, mind-blowing spike points by some of the most talented, savage, and unique imaginations writing fiction today.

This is a book filled with flaming, frozen moments of dread and wonder you will never in a million years forget.

This is a book that goes too far.

And invites you along for the ride.


While I am looking forward to this collection, good God let this be the last of the zombie fiction for a while.
