Zombies: Shambling Through History

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 (but you can change events as needed, as in one story I bought, Oscar Wilde is an action her in 1900). I am currently not seeking any story that takes place after the 1800s. All zombies must be the carnivorous kind. Word length is flexible (I am accepting some short short stories to be the “connective tissue” between main tales). Payment for original is at least 3 cents a word; payment for reprints at least 1 cent a word. All stories are due Jan 1st.
