9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Serious Contender For Best Anthology Of The Year! By Michael Hicks [Note: I received an advanced copy of this title for review.]The Z Chronicles is the latest in Samuel Peralta’s ever-growing series of The Future Chronicles anthologies. While I’ve only read a couple of the previous collections, this zombie-themed antho is far and away my favorite of the bunch and represents one the strongest over-all anthologies that I’ve ever read.There is a mighty fine assemblage of authors here, and a number of superb stories that, on their own, more than make the price of entry completely worthwhile. And, as with any good anthology, this has given me a nice starting point to delve deeper into the works of authors that are new to me. In fact, after reading several of the stories included here, I immediately hopped onto Amazon and bought a couple titles from writers like Ann Christy and Deirdre Gould. Following here, then, are a few thoughts on my favorites – consider this a LIGHT SPOILER WARNING and feel free to skip down to the bottom if you want to be completely blind going in.Christy’s story, VINDICA, kicks of The Z Chronicles in grand style with a story of insurrection in an underground habitat built for the rich. It’s a strong stand-along story, but also provides a great taste of the author’s Between series.KAMIKA-Z by Christopher Boore, and Will Swardstron’s Z BALL are also very strong efforts, with the former featuring cyborg zombies unleashed upon the US during a war with China. This one is told across three viewpoints of a single family struggling to survive. It’s dark, but the characters are richly developed and their own unique voices are allowed to shine across each chapter. My only complaint is that I really wanted to see more of these cyborg zombie things! It’s such a cool concept, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Boore expands on it in a larger work soon.Z BALL casts the zombie uprising through the bright lights of American sports. This one is a wonderful outside-of-the-box approach to the zombie apocalypse and the way society responds and adapts to changing circumstances. And, just for good measure, it’s all wrapped up in a nice shell of conspiracy and paranoia.Hugh Howey and David Adams play around a bit in Howey’s own I, Zombie world. GLORIA is a story of a woman coming to grips with her own zombiefication, while Adams presents a similar story of a transgender individual who has been zombified. Both of these showcase a great bit of internal character development as they grapple with their post-death existence that finds their healthy mental states locked inside bodies they can no longer control thanks to the ravages of the plague.Peter Cawdron’s FREE FALL is another excellent piece that begins with a bit of a sci-fi bent as an astronaut returns to a decimated Earth. The opening bit of this story is a terrific slow-burn as the spaceman attempts to establish contact with Houston Ground Control only to slowly realize things are not quite right. It slowly morphs into a more traditional zombie-survival story, one that is really well done. Fans of the comics Y: The Last Man and The Walking Dead should find quite a lot to appreciate here.CURING KHANG YEO finished off the anthology with a stunningly rich character piece that finds the title character cured after several years as a zombie. Reclaimed by a very different world than the one he left, Yeo discovers that there are worse things than being a zombie – namely, living with yourself in the wake of all that you’ve done and those you’ve killed. His sense of guilt is supremely palpable, with the struggle between his own desires and the wishes of his medical saviors (if you can really call them that) is effectively striking. Author Deirdre Gould scores a huge, huge win with this story and I loved it so much that I immediately grabbed a copy of the first installment in her After The Cure series. While YEO is set in that same series, it is certainly effective as a stand-alone, but I suspect readers discovering Gould for the first time will find it difficult to ignore her novel-length works after reading this one. I, for one, absolutely need to know more about the world she’s constructed and the psychological and societal aftermath of this cure.As with any anthology, there were a couple stories that didn’t strike a strong chord with me, but those that did, particularly those outlined above, were just incredibly top-notch efforts. Overall, this is a wickedly strong anthology and zombie fans should be devouring this one ASAP. If you’re going through withdrawal’s of AMC’s The Walking Dead, or looking for something to fill the gap left by Jonathan Maberry’s ROT & RUIN series, this fix is now in. Highly recommended!

A New and Original Take by Some of Today's Freshest Sci-Fi Authors By David Fowler The Z Chronicles brings together some of today's most talented, self-published Sci-Fi authors, offering up their (short) take on the zombie genre. With so many different zombie stories out there today, the challenge of bringing something new and fresh may seem daunting. These authors have risen to the challenge. The short story format, by its very nature, causes authors to have to get to the point quickly and concisely. That lends itself to some very good storytelling. Naturally, depending on your personal preference, some stories will appeal to you more than others. However, for me, these really stood out."Vindica" by Ann Christy really stuck a chord. I loved the characters and the premise. Without giving too much away, revenge is sweet."Six Days" by Theresa Kay reaches into every parent's heart and asks what we'd be willing to do as a parent in the midst of a crisis with a countdown."The Fall of the Percedus" As usual, Jennifer Foehner Wells does not disappoint. She is a gifted writer and a self-professed geeky science nerd. Her take on zombies with an alien twist is a refreshing and original read."Hybrid" Geoffrey Wakeling's story of a young, 17-year-old with the weight of saving the world on her shoulders was engrossing and asks the question, "What would you be willing to do to survive?""Freefall" I'm a Peter Cawdron fan. His take on an astronaut who, unaffected by a zombie plague, has to make some tough choices, was original and heart-tugging. I hope he plays it out into a full length story."Curing Khang Yeo" by Deirdre Gould. Wow. I'm new to this author, but will be looking for more of her work. Her juxtaposition on the psychological ramifications of "curing" zombies after they've committed horrible atrocities was thought-provoking and sensitive. How would you feel after doing horrible things that were beyond your control but fully within your memories? What would you do about it? This was a terrific read!I enjoyed every story in the collection. They are original and thought provoking and I think it's well worth your time and money.I was provided an Advance Review Copy in exchange for my unbiased review.

This anthology twists and tears apart the standard zombie troupe’s By Andrea Luhman Reading most of the short stories in this anthology twists and tears apart the standard zombie troupe’s. The range of places, emotions, and the various takes each story had based on zombie mythology impressed me. The following were my favorites:*Vindica by Ann Christy had vivid characters and I was quickly drawn into the post apocalyptic crisis. I liked how Christy’s exploration into social hierarchy in a small community and lengths some will go to stabilize or change their position.*Six Day’s by Therea Kay was horror done in a heart-wrenching manner. It was easy to relate to the protagonists dilemma and root for her success.*The Fall of Percedus by: Jennifer Foehner Wells was a suspenseful nail biter. I was into the story very quickly and could not read it fast enough. I loved the inception of the zombie transition in this story.*Z-Ball by: Will Swardson. Be prepared, to be amazed by this short story. It takes talent to make the protagonist, antagonist, and two supporting characters come to life in so few words; a feat many authors can’t pull off in a full-blown novel. You need to buy this anthology just so you can read this short. I really enjoyed the layering of political intrigue, money, fame, fortune, and what is tolerated in sports franchising verses the rest of the modern world.*Gloria by: Hugh Howey. Horrifying, and I left the read feeling very disturbed.*Hybrid by: Geoffrey Wakeling. I was hooked instantly by the action and the need to know what was happening in the story. This was a page-turner with lots of scary moments watching the protagonist trying to get down dark hallways where a zombie could be waiting. I also liked the suspense of waiting to see if the cure was really a cure or an impetus to spark something else.*Free Fall by: Peter Cawdron-I’m going to buy his novel after reading this short. This story had everything I love about the science of traveling to and from space. I really loved how Cawdron explored some of the emotions and human needs that might connect us or breaks us a part during conflict and stress.*The World After by: Angela Cavanaugh. You want to buy this anthology so you can read this short story. Cavanaugh has a beautifully balanced narrative style that relates complex cultural information while still pressing the action of the story forward. All the things that took place in this short amazed me: there were surprise discoveries, love lost, betrayal, battles, new allegiances formed, a rescue mission, lovers reunited, and a heroic escape. It left me wanting to read more.
