Collected for the first time anywhere, here are the short stories of detective John J. Mallory, from Resnick's STALKING THE UNICORN, STALKING THE VAMPIRE and STALKING THE DRAGON. Mallory is a hard-boiled detective from our world, unhappily stranded in a Manhattan filled with trolls, pink elephants, a blue-nosed reindeer, powerful demons and more.
The stories are witty fast-paced urban fantasies with dialogue seemligly drawn from 1930s film comedies. Connie Willis writes in her preface: STALKING THE ZOMBIE is the fun, funny, tall-tale telling Mike at his cutting-loose best. It's inventive, satiric, fast-paced, a roller-coaster ride of a book. And you're going to have a whale–oops, pink elephant–-of a time reading it!
Eight short mysteries, the title story being original to this collection. Cover by Spectrum Artist Douglas Klauba. And all-new introduction by Mike Resnick explaining where the character came from and detailing Mallory's history. A preface by Connie Willis. This is collection is a treat for John J. Mallory fans.
