Zombified is about Cassie, a high school senior that gets infected by a virus that will eventually turn her into a zombie. She teams up with other infected but not yet flesh-eating people to find help to get cured. I read this in two days. It's a quick read, funny, and a great look at zombies from the inside. It felt a little too rushed in some parts. I would've liked certain scenes  extended and had others to flow better. Very few typos that came only toward the very end. Not sure how else it could've ended, but it was an entertaining and funny ending. Will we see how Cassie's end will come in another book about Neil/Joseph?

I'm not much of a horror book fan, but Zombies vs. Unicorns balanced it out with humor. The two editors try to convince the reader that one or the other is better. Some of the stories are (to quote the editors) "haunting," while others are for pure enjoyment. Many of the main characters are young adults under 18 and so this book is geared to that audience. It shows that strength and good sense can happen at a young age as these characters face adult situations (mainly in the post-infection worlds of the zombie stories). I am well past YA age but I enjoyed the stories. It made me wonder, though, what is the lure of such dark fantasy for this age group? I would be very hestitant to let my 14 year old read this.
