Better Off Undead
by Carrie Vaughn, Sarah A. Hoyt, S. M. Stirling, Laura Resnick, Devon MonkĀ 

Eighteen original stories about the “lives” of the undead.

From vampires to mummy con artists, this lively collection explores the many forms the undead can take in stories that range from the chilling to the hysterical. There are those who people the Afterlife, others who wander the lands of the living in ghostly form, and even those who walk about in the flesh.

For anyone who’s ever wondered if the grass is greener on the other side of this mortal coil, this collection will provide a wide range of intriguing answers from those who are undead...and loving it!
