I&#8217;ve always liked zombie stories, so I was very interested in this collection. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The first story, &#8220;What Will Come After,&#8221; is a surprisingly tender, but shocking story about love, life, death and life after death as a zombie. It&#8217;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 (&#8220;Almost the Last Story by Almost the Last Man&#8221; and &#8220;A Plague on Both Your Houses&#8221;). They&#8217;re perfect zombie stories for zombie fans.<\/p>\n<p>I can recommend <i>What Will Come After: The Complete Zombie Stories of Scott Edelman<\/i> to all horror readers, because it&#8217;s worth reading. If you like good zombie stories, these stories will charm you.<\/p>\n<p>Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.massmovement.co.uk\/wordpress\/?p=4421#more-4421\"><i>Mass Movement<\/i><\/a>, Jim Dodge,  Jr. wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The stories collected here are sad. They&#8217;re full of tragedy and despair. Though these tales are chock-full of survivors they still manage to be really, completely \u2026 well \u2026 sad. I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;ve enjoyed anything zombie-related as much as Scott Edelman&#8217;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!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to get your own copy of <i>What Will Come After<\/i> to see what these three reviewers are talking about, head <a href=\"http:\/\/store.pspublishing.co.uk\/acatalog\/What_Will_Come_After_HC.html\">here for the jacketed hardcover<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/store.pspublishing.co.uk\/acatalog\/What_Will_Come_After_tc.html\">here for the signed limited traycased edition<\/a>.
