Eye Witness: Zombie

First of all, I am always wary of anthologies; for example, I am concerned with the number of great stories vs. lame stories. I've also been such a big fan of Permuted Press that I have ridiculously high standards for my zombie horror, and May December Publications is one of those newbies, only recently gaining some recognition as a literary contender in the horror genre.
