Which is better, the zombie or the unicorn?
Age old debate, if the two pitted against each other, who would win? In this hilarious book of zombies vs. Unicorns Team Holly Black battles against Team Justine Larbalestier in stories of the Apocalypse, glitter covered creatures, magic, death and love.
Team Holly (Unicorns) consists of short stories involving unicorns by Kathleen Duey, Meg Cabot, Garth Nix, Margo Lanagan, Naomi Novik and Kiana Peterfreund. All these stories involve Unicorns at their finest, at their worst, when they are the most helpful and when they are least likely to help.
Team Zombie is headed by Justine and involves stories written by Libba Bray, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson, Scott Westerfeld and Carrie Ryan. These stories involve the Apocalypse and beyond, love and hatred and death and life.
The stories debunk and strengthen a few of the old myths that surround unicorns and zombies, including the 'purity test' and that 'one bite of a zombie WILL KILL YOU.' The stories are as fascinating as they are gory, beautifully written as they are saddening. After reading this book you may not be able to decide if you are still for Team Zombie or if you are for Team Unicorn.
