Hi Phil,
Yes, there of course the occasional great zombie story (and movie)--John Farris's story from a couple of years ago was excellent (and I chose it for YBFH), and there are others...but most of the stuff I'm seeing is about blood and gore and not storytelling...but unfortunately, that's something I see in all of horror far too often.

I usually approach the writers I want for my original anthologies and don't ever post to public market reports. I don't have time to read slush and can't afford to hire a reader.
I DO read WT so I'll be seeing it. I see most mags/anthos/collections out there.
