FROM THE EDITOR’S TOWERGreetings Dear Readers,
It’s been almost two years in the making and with a cast of dozens!
The waiting is finally over.
The Weirdbook annual!
This is a goody. What we have here is a superabundance of zombies, which is a good thing considering that this is our ALL zombies issue.
We have horror zombies, fantasy zombies, and even science fiction zombies. Hell, we even have a zombie guinea pig! What we don’t have this time around though are George Romeroesque Plague/Apocalypse Zombies. I think that that brand of zombie has been run into the ground. And if you want to be a stickler for details, I wouldn’t even call them zombies anyways.
So I’m very confident that this special issue will scratch that zombie itch and satisfy your Jones ing for things undead.
We have wonderfully weird stories from Lucy Snyder, Adrian Cole, D.C. Lozar, Angela Yuriko Smith, John Linwood Grant, Erica Ruppert and many other talented story tellers.
All things undead and decaying,
All Revenants festered and foul,
All things moldy and slaying,
Even the Devil fears them all.
(With apologies to Mrs Cecil Alexander and the Monty Python troupe.)
