Summary edit see section history

"Zombies are the ideal late-twentieth-century monsters. A zombie is the one thing you can't deal with. It survives anything. Frankenstein's monster and Dracula could be sent down in many ways. Zombies, though, fall outside all this. You can't argue with them. They just keep coming at you." --... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)

"Zombies are the ideal late-twentieth-century monsters. A zombie is the one thing you can't deal with. It survives anything. Frankenstein's monster and Dracula could be sent down in many ways. Zombies, though, fall outside all this. You can't argue with them. They just keep coming at you." -- Clive Barker.
Zombies ... soulless corpses risen from the grave to do the bidding of their masters. They may have their factual basis in the voodoo ceremonies of Haiti, but it is in short fiction and the movies that the walking dead have flourished.
THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF ZOMBIES brings together twenty-six stories which depict a wide range of methods for raising the dead -- from traditional Caribbean rituals to futuristic science. Within this terrifying tome you'll discover such classic tales of the macabre as Edgar Allan Poe's "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" and J. Sheridan Le Fanu's "Schalken the Painter," plus memorable stories from the pulp magazines by H. P. Lovecraft and Robert Bloch. Also collected here for the first time are stories by such established masters as Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, and Brian Lumley, plus two new novellas and original stories by a host of exciting names.
