Zombie Dildos: Fuck Your Brains Out
Zombiephiles claim to love zombies…but do we love them so much that we want to masturbate with a zombie dildo? (Is this the new item we’re putting in our bug-out bags? REALLY?!) About a month or so ago, word was getting around the zombie community that Walgreens was selling a zombie dildo. (Because they “have what you need!”) The thing […]
Dead Tide Will Pull You In [Interview]
The Dead Tide series by Stephen A. North is kind of like a zombie soap opera: lots of characters, a rotating POV, and plenty of dramatic scenes with the undead. Usually I struggle with a cast this size, and I have to write down notes just to remember the individual survivors and their backgrounds, but somehow North managed to create […]
100 Days In Deadland [Book Review]
100 Days In Deadland by Rachel Aukes is one of the best zombies novels that I’ve read in 2013…I would definitely put this book in my top ten picks for the year. Zombies have always been more than flesh-eating monsters, representing issues within society; Aukes has taken the zombie metaphor even further by creating a cultural link between classic literature […]
Zombies vs. Werewolves: Pavlov’s Dogs [Book Review]
Pavlov’s Dogs by DL Snell and Thom Brannan took a scientific approach to placing werewolves and zombies in the same setting, and the result was a brilliant undead thriller. While the military’s approach to manipulating the lycanthropic genetics of the “dog soldiers” with technology was fascinating, the release of the Dogs into an undead outbreak was awe-inspiring. The Dogs are […]
A Satisfying Quickie [Book Review]
Better To Be Lucky by David Rogers is a great short story that takes place within the setting of Roger’s novel Apocalypse Atlanta. This is just one of many personal tales that take place in or around the Atlanta outbreak, but Better To Be Lucky is told from the POV of some soldiers dealing with infection during their deployment. While […]
The Zombie Whisperer [Book Review]
The Zombie Whisperer and Other Weird Tales by Steven E. Wedel is not strictly a zombie anthology, but rather a collection of four stories including two about the undead. Wedel did an incredible job of providing entertaining short stories for any horror fan, and I hope the author writes more zombie stories in the future. The two stories worthy of […]
Lock ‘Em Up & Run Like Hell [Book Review]
Zombie: Lockdown is the latest zombie anthology from May December Publications featuring known zombie authors, as well as some authors making their first attempt at the infected sub-genre. As with previous anthologies from MDP, Lockdown features a theme: undead outbreaks in prison. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of the stories, considering the limitations of a lockdown setting. Out […]
The Undead Situation Continues [Book Review]
The Undead Haze by Eloise J. Knapp is the sequel to The Undead Situation, and the crazy thing is that I actually liked Cyrus this time around, but the storyline was still extremely frustrating. Cyrus would get out of one mess, only to find himself in another, and, after a while, it just seemed like the same old thing over […]
Zombies, Sharks & Idiots [Book Review]
Sanctuary in Steel by Bryan Cassiday was like a crazy ride on a roller coaster of nightmares, with a lot of great character lines. For example: “We’re still alive.” “This is more like death on the installment plan.” This book is actually the third in a series, but could be read as a stand-alone…I know because I didn’t read the […]
Dead Living: A Love Story [Book Review]
Dead Living by Glenn Bullion was a great zombie read…if you can get past some of the hard-to-swallow details: 1) The survivors don’t begin to couple off until 14 years after the initial outbreak. Who waits THAT long to make a move? Seriously…how much time do you need to decide if you want to hook-up with someone, when there are only two […]
