About this listen

In 1968 the world experienced a brand-new kind of terror with the debut of George A. Romero's landmark film Night of the Living Dead. This was something new...and terrifying. Since then, zombies have invaded every aspect of popular culture.

But it all started on that dreadful night in a remote farmhouse.

Nights of the Living Dead returns to that night, to the outbreak, to where it all began. New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Maberry teams up with the godfather of the living dead himself, George A. Romero, to present a collection of all-new tales set during the 48 hours of that legendary outbreak.

Nights of the Living Dead includes stories by some of today's most important writers: Brian Keene, Carrie Ryan, Chuck Wendig, Craig Engler, David J. Schow, David Wellington, Isaac Marion, Jay Bonansinga, Joe R. Lansdale, Joe McKinney, John Russo, John Skipp, Keith RA DeCandido, Max Brallier, Mike Carey, Mira Grant, Neal and Brendan Shusterman, and Sandra and Ryan Brown, plus original stories by Romero and Maberry.

Narrators include: Ray Porter, Stefan Rudnicki, Jonathan Maberry, Kasey Lansdale, Kristoffer Tabori, Rex Linn, Gabrielle de Cuir, Adenrele Ojo, Richard Gilliland, and Nicholas Guy Smith.

this has opened an entire new genra for me

I got this quickly glancing at the cover thinking it was a novelized version of Night of the Living dead. I had no idea it was an anthology of zombie shorts. This was the best mistake I could have made for the first time trying out a genra.

Great performances but the stories were only so so

Very boring stories overall. Zombie apocalypse happens. Zombies eat people. People kill people. End of stories

Some good, Some bad, Some i had to skip.

As an anthology, as with all anthology's in my opinion there are good and bad stories. Where anthologies of this kind seperate themselves is how high the highs are, and if the lows are truly terrible. For what its worth, i quite liked all the narrators, and while none of them truly stood out, there weren't any that were bad. So with that out of the way, the stories were quite surprising.

Some of them had little at all to do with zombies and were good for it, using zombies as a vehicle for why the story is taking place rather than the focus. At other times this wasn't all that great, it felt like a story or two had zombies put in to a different story rather than made with them in mind.

I got it for free, so i'd say it is worthwhile. Whether it is worth a credit is debatable, but i'm typically not a fan of these sorts of anthologies from many authors.

Excellent Anthology of Short Stories

The variety is entertaining. The narrators do a great job and there are many sound effects to go with the whole atmosphere. Each chapter ends with a short presentation of the author and their achievements.

Best collection yet

Narration ranges from ok to great. I could listen to the gentleman who reads the Brian Keene story all day. Favorite story as well along with the one from the space station.
