Zombies vs. Unicorns edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier

Which Team are you on? Zombies or Unicorns?
I am most fervently on Team Zombie. Though I have to say, many of the stories I liked best in Zombies vs Unicorns are unicorn stories. The book is a fantastic collaboration amongst popular YA writers who had a ton of fun writing the stories. I like that Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier prefaced each story with a discussion (though I would have liked to see stories by those two as well) and I could easily see they were enjoying the task of editing these phenomenal stories.
Some of my favorite unicorn stories are Naomi Novik's "Purity Test", the tale of a unicorn out to find a human to help save unicorns, and neither the human nor the unicorn are what one would expect; "The Care and Feeding of Your Baby Killer Unicorn" by Diana Peterfreund, which asks what if unicorns were really dangerous, something which Peterfreund addresses in her novels Rampant and Ascendant (neither of which I've read); Kathleen Duey's dark "The Third Virgin" tells the tale of a different kind of unicorn; and probably my favorite, Meg Cabot's "Princess Prettypants", in which a sixteen year old girl does not get the car she's pining for.
On the zombie side of things, Alaya Dawn Johnson's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is excellent, told from the point of view of the partially cured, lovelorn zombie; on the other side is Cassandra Clare's "Cold Hands", telling a love story from the point of view of the human in the human-zombie relationship; Scott Westerfeld's "Inoculata", about what the cure for zombies might be; Maureen Johnson's humorous "The Children of the Revolution", which you just have to read because trying to explain it, it sounds crazy; and the chilling "Prom Night" by Libba Bray, sharing what happens when it's the adults that become zombies and how the kids take control (but still manage to have a prom).
All of the stories are excellent (to be expected from such wonderful writers) and I love that the book is set up with alternating zombie and unicorn stories. Also that there's handy little zombie and unicorns pictures at the top of the page so you can skip the unicorn stories or the zombie stories, but I would suggest not skipping stories. Zombies vs. Unicorns is a entertaining, funny, chilling, amazing read. Also, I totally want a poster of the cover (showing the battle of zombies vs. unicorns). Although I love the unicorn stories as much as I love the zombie stories, when it comes down to it, it's still zombies that will bring about the end of the world ....
