An enjoyable and rollicking ride, this collection contains 20 short stories that explore a broad spectrum of the undead, from Romero-style corpses to zombies inspired by Canadian Aboriginal mythology, all shambling against the background of the Great White North. The anthology's specific focus on Canadian settings distinguishes it from the pack, and its exploration of many types of zombies weaves a vast compendium of fiction. Strong writing and imagination are showcased in clever stories that take readers through thrills, chills, kills, carnage, horror, and havoc wreaked across the country. Tales deal with a lone human chasing zombies across an icy landscape after the apocalypse, whales returning from the depths to haunt the southern coast of Labrador, a marijuana grow-op operation in British Columbia experiencing problems when the dead begin to attack, and a corpse turned into a flesh puppet for part of a depraved sex show, among other topics. Providing a unique location and mythology that has not been tackled before, Dead North will appeal to speculative fiction, horror, and zombie fans.… (más)
I couldn't resist picking this up from a table at Word on the Street in Toronto, the cover is just perfect and the concept right up my alley. There's a good mix of stories in here, from new takes on First Nations legends, to post apocalyptic scenarios, to an almost fairy tale like surrealism. It starts strong and ends strong, with decent stories in the middle. :-) It's sometimes creepy, sometimes funny, not too horrific, and evokes the terror of the undead and the untracked North. ( )
