When James Chambers wrote the zombie novella The Dead Bear Witness in the late-’90s, stories about the undead were as uncommon as, well, survivors in a George Romero movie. There was only one Resident Evil game, and no movies; there was no Walking Dead, in print or on TV; and not much else when it came to the “living impaired.” My how times have changed. In the following email interview, Chambers talks about Corpse Fauna: Volume 1: The Dead Bear Witness (paperback), a collection of his narratively connected novellas and short stories that’s not only being reprinted, but is the first of four related volumes that will ultimately put this zombie saga deep in the ground.
