Every
Death You Take, just one of the many tales in this anthology.
"On a rain-slick bend in the road ... he came upon a
mob of the dead and lost control of his motorcycle and crashed. He
awakened to find them stripping his flesh. He felt nothing. He killed
them and brushed the dirt from his jacket. And felt nothing. He saw
that he had become one of them. And felt nothing. Yet he was
different. Death had not robbed him of his mind, as it had the other
ones." Imagine the American Southwest in the aftermath of biological
apocalypse. The dead have arisen, ravenous for flesh, and the
landscape is so blasted and fierce that only a few pockets of human
survivors remain. A loner named Hitch rides a Harley and swings a meat
hook on a chain. He is a zombie, but he can think. And he can order
other zombies to do his bidding. Dead Heat packs a unique hero,
over-the-top action, wicked humor, and cosmic science-fiction horror
into a killer combination that won the 1996 International Horror
Critics Guild Award for best first novel. Not only is Dead Heat
probably the best zombie-biker novel ever written, it's better than
you'd think a zombie-biker novel could be.
