Oh, and before I forget: head over to the Zombies vs. You might not like every story in it, but you're sure to find several that you like.

If you like zombies or unicorns (or both), Zombies vs. It's marketed for teens and many of the characters involved are teenagers, but there is a good bit of language and sexual situations, probably a PG-13 or a little higher. I should mention that this is not intended for young kids.

Some of my favorites were Maureen Johnson's 'The Children of the Revolution,' Scott Westerfeld's 'Inoculata,' and Naomi Novak's 'Purity Test.' There were a few that felt a little flat to me, but most of them were quite entertaining. actually, there are a lot of dangerous unicorns in the collection, not so many nice pretty ones, which is kind of odd. And there are deadly killer unicorns and. There are deadly killer zombies and there are not-so-dangerous zombies in love. The stories run the gamut from funny to tragic, and you never know what you're going to get.

This is a great way to dip your toe into both zombie and unicorn infested waters as well as introducing yourself to some very intriguing authors.But I did read all the stories, and it's a fun bunch regardless of where you fall in the debate. I had a lot of fun reading this book and the dialogue between Holly and Justine before each story only added to my pleasure. My top favorites were Princess Prettypants by Meg Cabot, Bougainvillea by Carrie Ryan, Inoculata by Scott Westerfeld and the hilarious send-up Children of the Revolution by Maureen Johnson. Some of these unicorns were truly ass-kicking monsters!As in all short story collections, some of the stories appealed to me more than others. The winner? The reader, of course.I went into this a firm Team Zombie member as I have an aversion to the sweet, sparkly mythical unicorns that seem to litter little girls dreams, and although overall I probably preferred more of the zombie tales, let me tell you, in most cases the unicorns in this book were far from the sickly sweet, rainbow farting ones that I was expecting. This is a head on battle, alternating creature stories in an all out bid to take top honors. The stories are by well known writers from the fantasy genre, Libba Bray, Naomi Novik and Garth Nix, just to mention a few. Unicorns is a showdown between two mythical creatures as hosted by Justine Larbalestier and Holly Black and meant to assist the reader in determining whether they are on Team Zombie or Team Unicorn.
