Although not short of a Dead World or two across the whole of the All Flesh Must Be Eaten line, there has never been a single book devoted to the post-apocalyptic zombie-fuelled scenario. Well, if it is Dead Worlds you are want, then Worlds of the Dead serves them up in several brain pans awash with ideas. There are 21 on show here, all of varying length and depth and making use as a whole of nearly all the titles in the All Flesh Must Be Eaten line. Further, there are Dead Worlds here that reference Eden Studios Presents, the magazine devoted to the publisher's various RPGs.
These Dead Worlds take the Zombie Master across time and space, but mostly time. In this, what Worlds of the Dead presents is a series of alternate histories wherein the divergent factor is the appearance of the corpse cavalcade. Each Dead World follows the standard format: an opening piece of color fiction, a history, . . .
