Remember how excited I was to hear that and were editing an anthology about zombies and unicorns? Well, I got hold of an advanced readers copy of Zombies vs. Unicorns from the publisher, and I can truthfully say that it has lived up to my (very high) expectations. It's not very fair to write a review, because not everybody can read it yet, but I just had to share SOMETHING about it. There are beautiful stories (generally featuring unicorns), creepy stories (generally featuring zombies), funny stories (featuring either, though my favourite funny story has a rainbow-farting unicorn) and stories that stick with you - and not in a teeth-in-your-arm or horn-impaling-your-chest way, either. Whether they are about unicorns or about zombies, all of the stories are very well done. But it's not only the stories that are awesome. and use the introductions to the stories to further their own unicorn/zombie agendas - and I would be lying terribly if I said they were not hilarious.
So now you can't wait to read Zombies vs. Unicorns, and I apologize. But you only have to wait until September 22! Buying this is the perfect consolation for having to start school again! (Whoops, I usually try not to drop the s-bomb until the middle of August.) I would consider giving up my readers copy to somebody who just couldn't wait, but if - and only if - you can find me a real-live rainbow-farting unicorn.
