Apocalyptic Asshole in The Undead Situation
I just finished reading The Undead Situation by Eloise J Knapp, and I’m starting to think that the latest trend in zombie novels is to make the protagonist a real asshole. I don’t mean someone unlikeable, I mean someone who keeps you hooked into the story because you want to watch them die a slow and agonizing death. Pretty much [...]
Remains of the Dead: ZOMBIE PLAGUE 1, MANKIND 0
Remains of the Dead by Iain McKinnon is one hell of a sequel to Domain of the Dead, but can easily function as a stand-alone. Technically, the two books are just different perspectives of the same timeline. In both, a helicopter full of soldiers is sent out from a military ship to bring back zombie specimens for the scientists to [...]
Zombie Apocalypse: Chronicles – Raider Recon
This short video is prequel to the recently released Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption, featuring characters from the actual movie. A trio of Raiders (ex-military survivors with a serious attitude) has been dispatched to search for an item at a Raider safe house. The recon party is led by The Executioner, aka Belfour (Ghelan Ismail), who has Lt. Barrett (Wayne Ten II) [...]
Ex-Patriots: Kick-Ass Sequel to Ex-Heroes!!
Several times in the past, I have expressed my opinion that Craig DiLouie and Patrick D’Orazioset the standard for 2011 zombie novels. While I have spent the year reading some fabulous apocalyptic stories about the undead, none of them achieved the caliber of Tooth and Nail and The Dark Trilogy…until now. Ex-Patriots is a brilliant novel by Peter Clines, the [...]
Matt O’Day & Zombies: From Paper to Screen
In the past I’ve interviewed book authors, illustrators, and actors…now I’m adding a script writer to my list. Since Zombie Apocalypse Redemption was released on DVD this month, I thought it would be interesting to sit down & chat with the writer, Matt O’Day, who is behind this thrilling indie film. You and the director Ryan Thompson worked so closely [...]
Jonathan Maberry’s Dead of Night
Dead of Night is Maberry’s twisted homage to the zombie genre, sacrificing his characters to appease the zombiephiles. When Jonathan Maberry wrote this novel, he created so much more than your usual characters trying to get from Point A to Point B without being killed; reading Maberry’s story was like being trapped in a labyrinth with the undead — you’re [...]
Syfy’s “Zombie Apocalypse” Movie Trailer

Check out the Zombie Apocalypse trailer and mark the date!
Roads Less Traveled: The Plan [REVIEW]
I have never heard of C. Dulaney before reading this story; I still don’t know squat about the author, but I am huge fan of Permuted Press, and I’ve enjoyed 95% of the books that they have released. When I was offered the chance to review this new novel, I didn’t realize that it was the first in a series. [...]
Sean Page: Waging War Against The Walking Dead [Interview]
If the upcoming apocalypse is caused by anything other than zombies, Sean Page is going to be crushed. The guy spends so much of his time writing about every conceivable zombie scenario, especially concerning his homeland of Great Britain, that it would be crying shame if we weren’t able to put his life’s work to good use. Despite having been [...]
From Pen to Machete: TW Brown & His Body Count [INTERVIEW]
Are you ready for another zombie mash-up? I’m personally getting as tired of mash-ups as much as I am tired of zombie survival guides, but I decided to give TW Brown’s Gruesomely Grimm Zombie Tales a chance. Brown has put a modern spin, as well as infected twists, on the Grimm tales. While this mashup could encourage young minds to [...]
