This horror-science fiction anthology consists of thirty-four, for the most part ultra short stories (mean average length is 4.2 pages) that are predominantly written by Eric S. Brown, as D. Richard Pearce contributes two solos and three collaborations. The tales run the gamut of horror and science fiction from A (angels) to Z (zombies) with plenty of supernatural and alien stops in between. The bloodsuckers bring a new meaning to "Family", while Zombies display how high the price of gas can become, and tyro Demons attend "Hells Daycare. Most of the stories are well written, but in this minuscule format no character develops beyond their front fangs. Overall, a solid cross section of the two genres, MADMEN'S DREAM is a fine collection, though at times readers will believe longer formats would have suited the contribution like the "Underdweller" and "Last One Standing".
