Add a CommentGreat fun! I've become a zombie fan in the past few years and really liked the zombie stories. I thought the unicorn stories would be tolerable but they were actually mostly good (one or two was a bit fantastical for me, but I found something to enjoy even in those). Zombie fans should check out "World War Z" next - an oral history of the zombie wars!
Who can resist a collection of short stories called Zombies vs Unicorns? Really? Who? Not I. The short story collection is edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier. Each editor is the head of a "team", Black with "Team Unicorn" and Larbalestier with "Team Zombie" poised to fight via the short stories to prove which is greater, the unicorn or the zombie. The collection is laid out with first a unicorn story then a zombie story. Each story is prefaced with an exchange between the editors of how this story does or does not prove their point. With most collections of short story there are some duds hidden within the gems. Not so with this collection. In my opinion, the unicorn side is stronger, with more diverse offerings, but no story in this collection is a throw away. You need to read this. Trust me.
Awesome stories from both teams. Loved it!
If i were to base my opinion only on this book then I would probly be on team Unicorn, but in other books that I've read about zombies they're so much better than unicorns. maybe cause these are short stories?idk But in the end I'm am on team Neutral if it exist. Purity test by Naoini Novik and the care and feeding of your killer unicorn by diana peterfeund were great. A thousand flowers by Margo Lanagan was very confusing and didn't make a lot of sense to me. Bougainville by carrie Ryan had an awesome twisted ending. I didn't even read the first five pages of Inoculata by scott westerfield. Cold hands was ok. Prom night by Libba Bray and Princess Prettypants by Meg Cabot were my 2 favs. cool collection and the arguments were great between the two co-authors.
excellent arguments between the co-authours. Short stories are very good. Some rather descriptive. Not suggested for the faint of heart.
this book wasn't all bad, but in my opinion Team Zombie is the best
UNICORNS FTW! >;D
Team Edward vs. Team Jacob? Nobody cares. What really matters is Team Unicorn vs. Team Zombie! Cast your allegiance as you work your way through short stories as some popular authors put up their defenses in honor of their side. Great for reluctant readers!
thiis book wazz sooo anoyyiiing >:( doont waiist yuur tiiime
Unicorns are so much better than zombies, and no im not a four year old girl.
