For years, he's brought the dead to life in books like Patient Zero and Rot & Ruin, so it's rather fitting that prolific author Jonathan Maberry has now teamed up with the legendary George A. Romero to co-edit an anthology set within the early stages of the zombie uprising in Night of the Living Dead. Titled Nights of the Living Dead, the new anthology is now available from St. Martin's Press (check out our giveaway here), and to celebrate, we caught up with Maberry for our latest Q&A feature to discuss his work on the living dead dream project, and we also have a claustrophobic excerpt from his short story "Lone Gunman."
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Jonathan. How did the opportunity come about to collaborate on a Night of the Living Dead anthology with the legend himself, George A. Romero?

Most people believe zombies are a relatively recent phenomenon that grew out of comic books, movies and TV.
Our current fascination is obvious with The Walking Dead on the small screen, movies such as the upcoming World War Z and even Britain's annual Brighton Zombie Walk which will take place for a sixth time in October 2012.
This History Channel special explores the real story of these flesh-eating horrors, beginning at the dawn of civilisation and continuing right through to today.
While the starting point for our modern view is George A. Romero's 1968 movie The Night of the Living Dead, the first written reference can be found in the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh, mankind's oldest work of literature.
We are then taken through the myths of various cultures across the ages and it's no surprise that Europe's Black Plague became one of the most prolific periods for zombie tales, because...

Yet another sign the zombies have taken over has arrived. Bram Stoker Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry has just released his newest work of horrific fiction, a novel entitled Dead of Night: A Zombie Novel. And it's absolutely crawling with living dead.
With other zombie titles such as Rot and Ruin and Dust and Decay to his credit, Maberry obviously knows how to spin a quality zombie yarn. He also recently contributed an essay on everyone's favorite zombie slayer, Rick Grimes, to Triumph of The Walking Dead, a collection of writings by several authors celebrating the extremely popular comic book series and AMC TV show. Additionally Maberry was featured in the History Channel's documentary entitled "Zombies: A Living History" with Max Brooks, Dr. Steve Schlozman, and Roger Ma. He's literally making a living on the dead... well, the undead.
