Nice review of ALT-ZOMBIE at The Zombie Librarian. "The result is a delightful array of some really interesting stories ... for me the best of the lot is Stuart Young’s tale of a band of survivors after the big doom called “White Light, Black Fire”. http://thezombielibrarian.com/a-collection-of-unique-zombie-stories-in-alt-zombi e/

Review of Alt-Zombie by Trevor Denyer.

"This was a well written, professionally presented anthology, but I'm not convinced that the zombie stories were that alternative. At the end of the day, they were all shuffling, rotting, re-animated corpses. I found that this aspect of the book became repetitive and tiresome. Having said that, there were some outstanding contributions, namely: 'Thus Spoke Lazarus' by Gary McMahon (an interesting take on the Lazarus fable), 'White Light, Black Fire' by Stuart Young (horror with a tongue-in-cheek humour that I love about this guy's writing) and 'Acceptable Genocide' by Shaun Hamilton (in my view, the best story in the collection. Chilling and deeply moving). All in all, a very acceptable collection of good stories, best read sparingly and not altogether."
