Gina McQueen's "Apocalypse as Foreplay," Jeanine McAdam's "Inhuman Resources," and Dana Fredsti's "First Date" are zippy stories about the sexy turn-on of successful zombie hunting. Jaime Saare's "I Heart Brains" has an SF twist: a man infected with "the z-virus" shopping in a megamart for a gently used replacement body. In Regina Riley's poignant "Undying Love," a long-suffering zombie seeks his lost lover. Michael Marshall Smith's "Later" makes one man's heartbreak palpable when his girlfriend has a fatal accident. From Publishers Weekly Perkins (Cowboy Lover) collects 21 zombie romance stories full of humor, horror, and love. Voodoo magic, zombie-creating viruses,
