Laura Bretz of York, PA and 29 other women around the world have put together a massive collection of zombie stories, totaling nearly 1000 pages.  The tome is a who's who of female horror authors, and is available via all major e-book retailers.

Historically a male dominated genre, these women have proven that not only can they write a chilling tale of the undead hordes, but there are also significant numbers of female readers.  Bretz reports that over 54% of the people who follow the facebook page for her best-seller What Zombies Fear are female.  One of her fans writes, "Zombie stories are really about the people who survive them.  Women are just as capable of survival as men."

With the box-office success of the World War Z film, and continued ratings success of zombie related television programs, it would appear that the genre is here to stay.  There are as many types of zombies as there are authors, from slow, uncoordinated zombies pioneered by George A. Romero to the newer, faster, smarter zombies of modern horror.
