One of my all time favourites has to be HIGH WIRE by Ben Grove.
Followed closly by ISLANDS by Pete.
I think any printed work would need to have stand-alone stories only.

Oh I’ll have to have a good look tonight when I’m home from work, but High Wire would get my vote. Its still my favourite story on the site.

My favorite is An Open Letter To World War Z by Pete and I love the story by Belinda Frisch, which I can’t think of the name at the moment.
Comment by AJ Brown on October 28, 2011 @ 7:31 am
The story by Belinda Frisch is titled Cure.

When I read this post, the first couple of stories that leapt to mind were Pete Bevan’s stories as well. But all my favorites of his have already been mentioned, so I thought, with apologies to Pete, that I’d do an OTB (Other Than Bevan) list for some of my other favorites on this list. My nominations:
JOHN, by Andrew Mogg- good solid military/zombie stuff, really liked it. THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD by Barret Shumaker, a quietly touching story, and COMFORT FOOD by Kevin White, a very quietly creepy little horror tale.

I mostly put these in order from Oldest to most recent. Some authors have more than one story on this site so I picked the ones i liked the most of all their work. I sort of had to leave out the serial stories (with a few exceptions) because to get the overall effect of the series you would need to print the whole thing. But, with that in mind, there’s nothing to stop you from printing a few more in the future 🙂

I thought Sleeping Beauty was a horrible and touching tale….especially if you’re both a parent AND someone who imagines a Zombie-fied world, and what that would really mean for us.
