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. Nothing makes my day like reading about someone trying to survive an apocalypse with a bunch of assholes making it worse. Being chased down by a zombie horde doesn’t seem that bad in comparison to being tortured in a variety of [...]

A Zombie Choose Your Own Adventure Book! “Zombocalypse Now” Review
f you’re my age, you often sit around fondly remembering the “Choose Your Own Adventure” book series that entertained us so much when we were young. And if you love zombies as much as I do, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Why weren’t there any zombie ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ books?” Well, ask yourself no longer, because Chooseomatic books has brought us “Zombocalypse Now,” a totally sweet and surprisingly thick book written in the “Choose Your Own Adventure” style that is, quite simply, a fantastic zombie book.
Each page of “Zombocalypse Now” offers you the results of your previous decisions, and (hopefully) gives you a set of actions for you to choose from – creating a large and complex web of storylines that navigate their way through the book. At almost 300 pages, “Zombocalypse Now” puts you in the role of the protagonist, a stuffed bunny who quickly discovers that his internet date isn’t going as well as he hoped it would when his date begins to crave brains. From those beginnings, you navigate your way through a slew of close calls, hard decisions and surprise plot twists in your quest to find an ending that doesn’t actually result in you dying. (The book advertises that out of 112 possible endings, there are at least seven in which you don’t die.)
Zombies Overrun Christmas with “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies”
f there’s one problem with Christmas, is that same problem which plagues nearly every holiday – a sad and somewhat suspicious lack of zombies. Long relegated to Halloween (a silly holiday really), zombies are forced to share their holiday with pirates, ninjas, and worst of all, mimes. Thankfully, author Michael Spradlin is dragging zombies, kicking and moaning, from Halloween to Christmas with his jolly book of zombie Christmas carols, “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies!”
