I already told you about the first review my upcoming zombie collection, What Will Come After, received—over at Gnostalgia, Barry Huddleston called three of the stories “must reads,” and gave the book as a whole “4 out of 5 stars.” (Sorry—but I couldn’t resist repeating that!)

Today, two more glowing reviews popped up online.

Seregil of Rhiminee had this to say over at Rising Shadow:

What Will Come After: The Complete Zombie Stories of Scott Edelman is a fascinating short story collection. I’ve always liked zombie stories, so I was very interested in this collection. …

The first story, “What Will Come After,” is a surprisingly tender, but shocking story about love, life, death and life after death as a zombie. It’s a fine example of what a good writer [can] do with words. The other stories are also well written, but I especially liked the Bram Stoker Award nominated stories (“Almost the Last Story by Almost the Last Man” and “A Plague on Both Your Houses”). They’re perfect zombie stories for zombie fans.

I can recommend What Will Come After: The Complete Zombie Stories of Scott Edelman to all horror readers, because it’s worth reading. If you like good zombie stories, these stories will charm you.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

And at Mass Movement, Jim Dodge, Jr. wrote:

The stories collected here are sad. They’re full of tragedy and despair. Though these tales are chock-full of survivors they still manage to be really, completely … well … sad. I can’t say I’ve enjoyed anything zombie-related as much as Scott Edelman’s newest PS Publishing release but I will say I needed to make sure I got some sunshine when I was finished. He really pulled the old heartstrings with this book and I loved every minute of it!

If you’d like to get your own copy of What Will Come After to see what these three reviewers are talking about, head here for the jacketed hardcover or here for the signed limited traycased edition. As an added incentive, Pete Crowther of PS Publishing has agreed to ship all pre-orders postage free through the end of February.
