Story4.5 out of 5 stars 267
New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Maberry presents a quirky collection of five stories starring a whole cast of the ever-popular undead. Here you will find a semi-sequel to Dead of Night in which four army reservists are assigned to hold a small rural bridge during the early days of the zombie apocalypse; a comedic story involving a couple of idiot moonshiners, a comet, gangsters, zombies, and the Great Chicago Fire; a downbeat psychological drama set in the bleak wastelands a few years after the zombie apocalypse; and more.

Story5 out of 5 stars 259
Gutsy and her friends, along with Benny and his crew, have just survived a massive attack on New Alamo by the Night Army - a mix of mindless shambling los muertos and sentient half-zombie ravagers. She's also reeling from the revelation that the residents of her town were the lab rats of the biological testing facility linked to creating the most dangerous zom, the Raggedy Man, who controls all of the living dead. And the first raid was only a test. The real Night Army is coming, and this time, it'll be a handful of survivors against seven billion zombies.

Sam Hunter is a bit of an animal. He's a former Twin Cities cop who lost his badge because of excessive force. Abusive husbands, child molesters, and other lowlifes wound up looking like they'd been mauled by a dog...or a wolf. Now Sam's a low-rent PI in Philadelphia. He takes the kinds of cases no one wants. His clients are usually on the fringes of society. The kind who are prey for all manner of predators - human and otherwise.

Not for the faint of heart
It took me a few days to listen. Each story has a dark, raw quality that isnt like binging a bunch of Twilight Zone episodes. I recommend this if you like the darker stories, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Certainly worth a listen
The stories were interesting, well written, and easy to listen to. Except Property Condemned, that depressed the hell out of me. The performance was excellent. The range on that man! I thought for certain there were different narrators. I'd recommend it.

Nope.
I really liked the Author. But I can't express how much I hated the narrator. Only made it about 30 minutes in. Had to stop. Grating on my nerves with the unplaceable horrible accent added. I'm guessing he was shooting for a gritty PI. Really came out as a clipped used car salesman.

A variety of awesome
I finished each short story wishing it was the first chapter of an upcoming book. I've yet to find something Maberry has written that isn't top class. Narrated brilliantly too with no two characters sounding the same, even across different stories. A must listen.
