Zombies Overwhelm Star Trek Convention!!
I almost didn’t select Night of the Living Trekkies for review; the cover art looks like the cheesy garbage you would find on most young adult fiction books, and the title made me think, “One more person trying to cash in on the zombie genre with some ridiculous twist.” BUT, I’ve enjoyed other Quirk novels, and I can’t get enough [...]

The Official Zombie Handbook for the UK, the long-anticipated survival manual is now available at both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, and it’s a great addition to any zombiephile’s collection, regardless of where you live.

Zomblog: Survivor Journal With A Twist
So…after being blown away by Dead: The Ugly Beginning , I decided I need to read TW Brown’s Zomblog.

At first, I was just going to tweet the link (http://tiny.cc/JillsZombieStory) but then I decided to write [...]
Zombie Preparation for the UK

Zombie Survival Preparation From A Stay-At-Home Mom
I’ve always been worried about the eventual zombie apocalypse; when Max Brooks’ Zombie Survival Guide was released, I bought nearly two dozen copies and gave them to friends and family…none of which even thought about zombie-anything, let alone a zombie outbreak. Several of them became zombiephiles after reading the guide. The rest were reluctant to accept the inevitable, but they [...]
