Nothing sends a tingle up the spine in quite the same way as a good zombie story. We have all heard the familiar stories of slow-moving undead that want to eat our brains, but what if there really were zombies? This book gives a nod to the familiar tales of walking dead and then dives into a creepy and very true tale of a man who was made into a zombie by a voodoo witch doctor and somehow returned to tell the tale. Young readers, even reluctant ones, are sure to be enticed by this fascinating look into the lives of the dead.

      Gr 3-5-Hair-raising covers (a zombie lunging from its coffin, a drooling werewolf menacing a cowering girl) and thick line artwork give these graphic-novel-style books a pulpy flavor that will appeal to fans of comics. Unfortunately, stilted dialogue and captions that repeat what the images have already established give the narratives an awkward feel. Mummies! and Witches! respectively present Howard Carter's unearthing of King Tut's tomb and witch trials as historical events, emphasizing that the supposed supernatural happenings-such as the reports of witchcraft-were mere stories. However, the other volumes are not as clear in establishing the narratives as folklore rather than objective truth: Zombies! refers to a Haitian tale of Voodoo as "real." While each book begins and ends with some additional facts and stories about its subject, this series is purely recreational.
