Which is the “most literary” of all cemeteries? Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Mass., may very well be the one. Writers of no less stature than Thoreau, Emerson, and Louisa May Alcott rest there for eternity. Read this off-beat post on PWxyz and see the interesting responses from readers.
A new anthology on Zombies entitled “Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!” is just out. Despite the plain name, the book reveals different aspects of, for lack of a better term, zombiehood. A range of time periods and types of tales are represented. The book’s editor is confident that you’re in for a treat. And as the reviewer concurs, “I’d say it’s a no-brainer.” groan… Shira S.
