There's an outbreak of plague in Nottingham and its victims are refusing to stay dead...   Robin Hood vs. The Plague Undead is a 'mash up' of the Robin Hood myth with contemporary zombie tales. All the usual Robin Hood characters are there - Friar Tuck, Little John, the Sheriff of Nottingham - but with loads of zombies thrown in as well. It must be very difficult to bring the two strands together and I don't think the author has quite succeeded. The problem is that both mythologies endure for different reasons and it's hard to fuse them together without compromising the strengths of both – zombies may work better in an urban setting, and having Robin Hood fighting zombies rather than the rich tends to undermine his leftwing credentials.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>140831388X</amazonuk>}} {{newreviewFrontpage|author=Elizabeth ChandlerPatrice Lawrence|title=Evercrossed (Kissed by an Angel)Needle
