New Zombie Anthology With Stories by Max Brooks, Tad Williams, Mike Carey, and Tim Lebbon

Christopher Golden will be editing a new anthology of zombie stories titled The New Dead to be published by St. Martins/Griffin. It looks to be a stellar line up of authors for the topic. Table of Contents:

• "Lazarus" by John Connolly
• "What Maisie Knew" by David Liss
• "Copper" by Stephen R. Bissette
• "In the Dust" by Tim Lebbon
• "Life Sentence" by Kelley Armstrong
• "Delice" by Holly Newstein
• "Closure, LTD" by Max Brooks
• "The Wind Cries Mary" by Brian Keene
• "Family Business" by Jonathan Maberry
• "The Zombie Who Fell From the Sky" by M.B. Homler
• "My Dolly" by Derek Nikitas
• "Second Wind" by Mike Carey
• "Among Us" by Aimee Bender
• "Ghost Trap" by Rick Hautala
• "The Storm Door" by Tad Williams
• "Kids and Their Toys" by James A. Moore
• "Shooting Pool" by Joe R. Landsdale
• "Weaponized" by David Wellington
• "Twittering from the Circus of the Dead" by Joe Hill

I'm definitely looking forward to the Max Brooks story as his World War Z was great fun. Also, Mike Carey’s (Felix Castor novels & comics) and Joe Hill's (Heart Shaped Box) stories should be a good treat. The Carey story is supposed to be centered on Nicky who is a character from the Felix Castor novels. The anthology should hit shelves in February 2010.

New Info: The Max Brooks story will be set in the world of World War Z and Subterranean Press will also be doing a limited edition version.
