Zombies vs. Unicorns [Paperback] Black, Holly and Larbalestier, Justine

Team Zombie or Team Unicorn? This anthology throws down with twelve short stories — six pro-zombie, six pro-unicorn — each one trying to prove which mythical creature reigns supreme. Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier hand-picked contributors including Meg Cabot, Libba Bray, Cassandra Clare, and Maureen Johnson to write original tales ranging from darkly comedic to genuinely unsettling. You'll get zombie prom dates, killer unicorns, undead romance, and sparkly mayhem. Each story comes with snarky commentary from the editors as they argue their case. It's playful, weird, and occasionally brutal — exactly what happens when two editors with strong opinions curate a literary showdown. Perfect for readers who like their YA with bite (or horn) and a sense of humor about genre tropes.
