Although this book features some of my favourite authors, such as Carrie Ryan, Cassandra Clare and Scott Westerfeld, I put off reading it for almost a year.
Why? Because for some reason I thought every story was about a unicorn battling a zombie, and frankly, I thought all that blood and gore and broken horns might get a bit tedious.
But it turns out that each story features either zombies or unicorns like you've never seen them before. Some of the strongest offerings were:
Team Unicorn
- "The Third Virgin" by Kathleen Duey
- "The Highest Justice" by Garth Nix
- "The Care and Feeding of Your Baby Killer Unicorn" by Diana Peterfreund
Team Zombies
- "Bougainvillea" by Carri Ryan
- "Cold Hands" by Cassandra Clare
- "Prom Night" by Libba Bray
Not only did I love every story in this book, but the banter between Holly Black (Team Unicorn) and Justine Larbalestier (Team Zombie) is hilarious.
I give this book five out of five baby killer unicorns.

So tell me, zombies vs. unicorns?
