"Still Dead," a collection of zombie stories edited by John Skipp, is a must-read for fans of the horror genre. This anthology, first published in 1992, features a diverse range of authors, each bringing their unique style and perspective to the table. The result is a collection that is both cohesive and varied, offering something for every type of horror fan. The stories in "Still Dead" are united by their exploration of the undead, but they differ greatly in tone and content. Some tales are gruesome and gory, while others are more subtle and psychological. Some stories are set in the midst of a full-blown zombie apocalypse, while others focus on a single, isolated encounter with the undead. One of the standout stories in the collection is "The Skull Ring" by Robert McCammon. This tale of a cursed ring that brings its wearer back to life as a zombie is both chilling and thought-provoking, exploring themes of greed and the corrupting influence of power. Another highlight is "The Man Who Killed the Zombie" by Douglas E. Winter, a story that challenges the traditional portrayal of zombies as mindless, shambling creatures. Overall, "Still Dead" is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in horror or zombie fiction. The collection is well-written, engaging, and thought-provoking, offering a fresh take on the undead and the horror genre as a whole. Whether you're a seasoned horror fan or just dipping your toes into the genre, "Still Dead" is sure to leave a lasting impression...
