Release date: September 21, 2010
Description from the amazon:
It's a question as old as time itself: which is better, the zombie or the unicorn?

In this anthology, edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier (unicorn and zombie, respectively), strong arguments are made for both sides in the form of short stories. Half of the stories portray the strengths--for good and evil--of unicorns and half show the good (and really, really bad-ass) side of zombies.

This anthology will have everyone asking: Team Zombie or Team Unicorn?

Contributors include many bestselling teen authors...

Team Zombie: Libba Bray Cassandra Clare Alaya Dawn Johnson Maureen Johnson Carrie Ryan Scott Westerfeld

Team Unicorn: Meg Cabot Kathleen Duey Margo Lanagan Garth Nix Naomi Novik Diana Peterfreund

What team are you on?
