"Interesting" is the most polite thing I can say of this collection. Although some of the stories had some creative value the quality of writing was consistently poor.

A book of zombie erotica that doesn't manage to be either sexy or, in many places, particularly scary. Nonetheless, four stars, and here's why: If you've read my reviews of previous works of zombie fiction from this year you've heard me comment that, in 2013, there's nothing to do with zombies that I haven't seen before.I have never seen this before. This is, from my perspective, an entirely new take on the genre, and a fascinating one that kept me turning pages late into the night. The stories
Rigor Amortis Anthology edited by Jaym Gates and Erika Holt 4 out of 5 stars. I’ve never been a fan of horror erotica--it’s a genre that’s just never appealed to me. Until now. Having interviewed Jaym Gates for my podcast, I know how quickly this book came together. Jaym and Erika did an outstanding job selecting submissions for this anthology. Disturbingly fun and in some cases shocking, I found the stories contained in Rigor Amortis a perfect blend of horror and erotica--something I would neve...
I incredibly enjoyed it. Review will come up later, promise.

(Review originally written for Rise Reviews.)When I first mention to people Rigor Amortis, the anthology of flash zombie erotica edited by Jaym Gates and Erika Holt, it elicits laughter and looks of disbelief. Until they realize I’m serious. As I understand it, the concept was born as a joke but grew as people realized there was material to be mined. And rest assured that this anthology is not one done for laughs.There are humorous pieces among the 30+ shorts: black humor, slapstick and grossfes...
First off, full disclosure: I know the editors through Twitter and was lucky enough to get an advance copy of this book for review. My comments below are based on that reading.I imagine it wasn't an easy task to assemble this collection. From an editorial standpoint, I think they did an admirable job ordering and organizing the pieces so that they fit together well. From the reader's standpoint, that's easy to overlook but it would definitely make or break an anthology like this. Fortunately for...

Given the media’s current obsession with all things zombie, I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone went ‘there.’I am of course talking about zombie erotica.This isn’t as gross as it sounds (or at least some of it isn’t), as most of the writers in this anthology have their tongue planted firmly in their decaying cheek. What I loved about this book was the amount of original approaches there were to this subject. I had half-expected to find 20-odd different sex scenes with the undea...
Romantic Zombies, horror and erotica; this book was REALLY weird... Not that I am complaining, I like weird! :)This isn't your typical romance book, but the writers of this book certainly have a TALENT to weave the dark and macabre into 34 tales of love and erotica, divided by four categories; romance,revenge, risk,and raunch. I would read this before I went to sleep at night and let me tell you, I had some pretty interesting dreams. This book certainly isn't for everyone, but a select few could...

There were a few enjoyable moments, and even a few laughs, but, over-all I wasn't all that impressed; were it not for those few stories I enjoyed I'd be giving this a rating of 2.
What's better than zombies? Well sex of course. Put the two together and you have Rigor Amortis, a collection of erotic zombie stories. This collection of talented writers provide more than enough shocking and disgusting material to satisfied the most jaded horror reader.The erotica is probably not what fans of erotica would normally look for.The gruesomeness, often unexpected erotic elements, and occasional humor made this collection a lot of fun to read.
There were some stories that creeped me to the core, and others that were so heart wrenchingly touching, I couldn't believe it was about zombies! A great little read.
A lot of fun. Thrilled to be in it, and seriously impressed by a good swathe of what else is included. =)
It's been a while since i read this (bought at VCON 2010.. Vancouver Sci-Fi Convention). I seem to recall it was kind of cute. I will have to read it again and update this review...
