The Living Dead 2
The website for The Living Dead 2 is now live!
To elaborate, The Living Dead 2 is the follow up anthology to The Living Dead, both edited by John Joseph Adams for Night Shade Books. While the first volume contained mostly reprints of classic zombie stories from authors including Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Neil Gaiman, The Living Dead 2 is packed with original zombie tales from names such as Max Brooks, David Wellington, Jonathan Maberry, and Carrie Ryan.
Oh, and you’ll also find my original short story, “Zombie Gigolo,” in the anthology, as well.
On the official website for The Living Dead 2, you’ll find eight stories in their entirety, available both as regular web pages and in a downloadable ebook sampler, currently available in epub and pdf format. There will also be 36 different author interviews with the contributors scheduled to appear daily, starting on August 30 and running through October 4. And last, but not least, you can also read the introduction and the header notes to each story in the anthology. (You can read the introduction for “Zombie Gigolo” HERE.)
You can order The Living Dead 2 now through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Night Shade Books. Or pick one up at your local bookstore!
So…this is totally unrelated to this post, but I just sent an e-mail to the address provided on this site asking you if I could interview you for my feature writing class assignment. I don’t know how frequently you look at that address so I wanted to alert you to it. Please reply to it ASAP (an acronym I hate to use but kind of need to stress in this situation).
But lest you think I didn’t read the post, I thoroughly plan on picking up a copy of Evil Dead 2. The title Zombie Gigolo alone is enough to pique my interest.
Thanks.
