Young Adult Science Fiction
An international gorefest is the main attraction of the
eight original stories gathered in this anthology, fourth in
a series that invites writers to riff on the weird
juxtaposition of zombies and robots. The odd combination
sometimes does make the undead look more lively, aided by
fresh settings in the U.K. and Russia. The zombies are a
standard swarm of rotting, shambling brain-munchers, but the
robots are a more varied lot as they reflect the varieties
of human foolishness in trying to fend off the living dead.
Some of the stories simply groove on the conflict’s
absurdity; the most successful of these is the outrageously
over-the-top “Beheaded by Whip-wielding Nun” by Simon Clark.
Others, such as Ekaterina Sedia’s “Timka” and Simon Kurt
Unsworth’s “Spinbot”, try to find human interest in the
hopeless struggle.
