Zombies: Shambling Through History A project of Prime Books (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Now this anthology is a memento mori for zombie fans. Starting in the B.C.E., follow zombie attacks through history. What happened on the Mary Celeste? What was the ultimate Nazi weapon? All the stories should be historically true in terms of setting and demeanor. I am currently not seeking any story that takes place after the 1800s. All zombies must be the carnivorous kind.
