This time's supernatural clash is between two far more extraordinary beings. And in this contest, the greatest writers of young adult literature have gathered to deliver the final verdict. Since the dawn of time, one question has dominated all others: who is superior—zombies or unicorns? Well, okay, maybe not since the dawn of time, but definitely since February 2007. That was the date when writers Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier began a heated discussion about the relative merits of these creatures on Justine's blog. Since then, the question has become an internet phenomenon, generating countless comments and even making its way to YouTube. Here in the real world, Holly and Justine are frequently asked to defend, respectively, unicorns and zombies. For Justine, it's a question of metaphor: which creature best symbolizes the human condition? The answer is, of course, zombies, which can be used to draw a parallel with almost any aspect of our existence. They are walking entropy. They are the degrading downfall of consumerism. They are the inevitable death staring us all in the face. They are a metaphor for slavery, conformity, and oblivion. What are unicorns? A monochromatic, sticky, and cuddly bore. For Holly, however, unicorns are majestic beasts that are simultaneously symbols of healing and impetuous killers with long, pointy objects attached to their heads. They were hunted by mythical kings, their image appears on the coats of arms and flags of noble families. And they continue to fascinate people today (often in the form of rainbow stickers, she admits). Besides, between a unicorn and a zombie, which would you rather be trapped in a mineshaft with? The whole thing got so out of hand that the authors decided to enlist a powerhouse team to settle the debate once and for all. Some of today's best writers were called upon to champion one team or the other, including Cassandra Clare (author of the Mortal Instruments series), teen queen Meg Cabot (author of the Princess Diaries series), Scott Westerfeld (author of the Uglies series), and Diana Peterfreund (author of the Secret Society series). The result is a definitive anthology, with 12 fascinating stories about both creatures, written by the greatest talents in the field. If you're strong enough to read all the stories, you'll know by the end of this collection who wins: zombies or unicorns! Team Unicorn – Led by Holly Black, Kathleen Duey, Meg Cabot, Garth Nix, Margo Lanagan, Naomi Novik, and Diana Peterfreund. Team Zombie – Led by Justine Larbalestier, Libba Bray, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson, Scott Westerfeld, and Carrie Ryan.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159884480764,"sku":"9788501095756","price":84.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/430f1a9135b75c623044f120dde7f870.jpg?v=1778321807"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/justine-labastier.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
