COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A great collection! submitted by marshd on November 27, 2010, 3:21pm This collection of short stories by extremely talented authors is both hilarious and somber. The book includes stories about unicorns, stories about zombies, and the witty banter of Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier as they discuss the pros and cons of the two "species".

My personal favorites stories were those by Meg Cabot, Cassandra Clare, and Alaya Dawn Johnson, but they were all fun to read, whether they were meant to be funny or thought-provoking.

Funny submitted by glennauerbach on June 16, 2012, 4:26pm This was extremely funny. I would recommend it if you needed a good laugh.

Team Unicorn/Zombie submitted by kittykat531 on July 2, 2013, 11:44am This book was great. It had stories ranging from down-right-pee-your-pants thrillers to hilarious stories that you did not want to end! My favorite was how to care for your killer baby unicorn and the one about the babysitter.

Inconsistent submitted by jmb.mlis on August 31, 2014, 11:06pm Just couldn't keep my attention.

Zombies vs. Unicorns submitted by lstorc on August 2, 2019, 9:38pm Zombies vs. Unicorns is fun, especially the banter between Black and Larbalestier! Be warned that some of the unicorn tales are more disturbing than some of the zombie ones.
