I've been reading Zombies vs. Unicorns. Most of the stories are surprisingly hardcore (Yes, I'm including the unicorns here). So far there have been two LGB love stories tucked among the occasional het ones in matter of fact fashion. I'm team zombie, of course, so I may be biased, but i think the zombie stories are stronger as a group, but so far most of the unicorn stories were readable and a couple were really good. The zombie side... oh wow! It's an embarrassment of riches really. These are not stories for the faint of heart, and i include the unicorns here, as they are pretty intense and tackle a variety of serious subjects, though a number of them have humorous and amusing narrative tones.

If you are picking this anthology up, do not be put off by the weakness of the first story. I'm nearly finished the book, and the first story is by far the weakest link and not indicative of the overall quality or tone of the rest of the pieces. Also, they have helpfully clearly designated which stories are zombie and which unicorn, if you want to avoid one or the other.
