Appalachian Undead takes a look at the dark side of Appalachia, where the Undead walk, driven by old magic and worse, their hunger for us. Nestled in the safety of the hills, the inhabitants have thrived and adapted even to the worst of conditions, but can they survive against an army that never tires and never stops feeding? With new intriguing tales of the Undead, this anthology contains work by some of the best names in horror, including Jonathan Maberry, Gary A. Braunbeck, Tim Lebbon, Elizabeth Massie, Lucy Snyder, Bev Vincent, Tim Waggoner and many more.[/td]

A detailed review of the anthology with story by story commentary. About mine the reviewer says, "A more serious story where two guys sit in a graveyard and wait for the dead to come out of their graves. Waiting for the ones you love and know to rise up from their graves brings a whole new level of pain to the zombie apocalypse."

Great review by Blu Gilliand at FEARNet: Mountain Living (and Dying) Isn’t Easy in 'Appalachian Undead'

It's those stories that fully embrace the Appalachians as a region and as a people that are the most successful: Elizabeth Massie's When Granny Comes Marchin' Home Again, for example, in which the zombie apocalypse begins not in a secret government laboratory, but in an old women's kitchen with a strange combination of moonshine and magic; or Calling Death by Jonathan Maberry, who takes the mining tragedies that are so tightly woven into the region's history and elevates them to hellish new levels; or Sitting Up With the Dead by Bev Vincent, which gives a deadly new spin to an old tradition.

For various, confusing, behind-the-scenes reasons, Appalachian Undead has been declared out of print. The anthology will arise like a zombie under a new title and new management in 2013.

The new anthology is called Mountain Dead and contains most of the original stories plus four new ones. Due out in June.

Appalachian Undead takes a look at the dark side of Appalachia, where the Undead walk, driven by old magic and worse, their hunger for us.



Almost Heaven…or is it?



The mountain’s enduring beauty holds something dark. Something dreadful. Something hungry for our flesh, our brains. Something dead yet not quite dead, driven by magic as old as the coal seams and the hills.



Come see the dark side of the mountains where the undead walk. Appalachia stands against an ever-hungry, never-tiring army created by the region’s own mysteries and lore. Appalachian Undead collects intriguing zombie tales by some of the best names in horror, including John Skipp, Jonathan Maberry, Gary A. Braunbeck, Tim Lebbon, Elizabeth Massie, Lucy Snyder, Bev Vincent, Tim Waggoner and many more.

Review



'Sitting Up With The Dead' by Bev Vincent is classic horror. A deadly plague ravishes a community reanimating the dead from their graves. This one is for the b-grade horror enthusiasts.
