The anthology kicks off with a foreword written by Diane Coughlin. You think you're reading the start of a horror segment, but you're actually getting a little history lesson. With thanks and love given to those who helped make this possible, we're off to.....see........erm.......let's just get on with the zombies.
Invasion A- Peter Mckeirnon start us off with a story inspired by an Adam and the Ants song (no, not that one). Fi is an entertainment worker in an area that has no rules. She expects her night at work to be the same as always, but some nasty little visitors put an end to that idea.
Run from the Dead- Marc Moore brings us the newest gaming sensation! Can you survive what you created? Or is it possible you could find yourself in a neon soaked hell hole for a while.
Adam's Birthday- Claire C Riley's entry is about Adam. Adam is celebrating his birthday, complete with bouncy castle and chocolate cake. And monsters. And blood. When is Mommy coming back?
Not The Main Character- Devon C Ford's protagonist shares how things have gone downhill and the realization they aren't going to be the hero of their own story.
A Flash of Light in the Darkness- Marilyn Peake provides another side of how people would react to the sudden outbreak of zombies. Leave the old life behind, start a new life, and find out that you've just been avoiding fate.
Scarecrows- David A Simpson 's survivor makes their living finding things in what's left of the world. A chance encounter leads him to find something unexpected that might help on his journey.
To Walk the Halls- Rebecca Besser shows why hospitals in the early days of the outbreak are going to be a very bad idea.
Last Night- Christopher Artinian has the outbreak going on at a concert.
Judgement Day- Ricky Fleet's zombies don't know the meaning of repent. Then again, would any zombie?
Wolfe in Dead Clothing- R.L. Chambers found an interesting use for cigarettes.
Beginning of the End (Garage Survival)- T.D. Ricketts shows why it's just not the zombies you have to watch out for when the world ends.
Bobbies Boobies- Grivante injects some comedy into the situation with glass eyes and boobs.
Insomnolence- Valerie Lioudis decides to teach some survivors what happens when you try to turn someone into a sacrificial lamb. Vroom vroom!
Concrete Jungle- M.R. Wallace gives a complete lesson in the new law in the new world. To the victor go the howls.
Karakyuza- Kevin J Kennedy's warriors decide to hit the reset button. Beats the alternative!
Slayer- Andrew Lennon proves that pans will be pretty handy when it all goes down.
Zombie Granny- Steve Higgs's detective finds themselves in a mystery where the reason behind the crime makes about as much sense as cursed lawn gnomes.
Betrayal- Jaime Johnesee's entry is an interpretation of "curse your sudden inevitable betrayal."
Flesh- Stuart Keane sears the image of Kermit spunk into our brains while welcoming death.
House of Dead Repute- Matt Hickman's Jake gives a very short glimpse into how the world's oldest profession is surviving.
Excuses- Stan Yan's cartoon is a cute little entry about why homework couldn't be completed. Deported indeed!
What a great collection of stories for a great cause. Cheers to everyone who contributed!
