Author Tonia Brown Gets Into The Skin Trade [Interview]
Skin Trade: A Historical Horror (written by Tonia Brown, edited by Stephanie Gianopoulos, and cover art by Phillip R Rogers) takes the zombie genre into an entirely new direction, and with the hordes of undead tales available, such a feat is nearly impossible these days. Not only does the novel take readers back into an alternate historical timeline, but zombies [...]
Yeah…Another Zombie Guide…But This One Is Damn Funny [Review]
Zombie Apocalypse Preparation: How to Survive in an Undead World and Have Fun Doing It! by David Houchins and Scot Thomas begins with a foreword that provides some insight on how their influences – everything from Romero to Monty Python – helped spawn their undead creation. I’ve read so many survival guides that my first reaction is to go Scarface [...]
Mad Swine: The Beginning
Mad Swine: The Beginning is going to be one of those novels where the zombie fans argue in the message boards about whether or not this qualifies as a zombie novel – even some of the book’s own characters debate over calling them zombies! The “crazies” are infected living, much like 28 Days Later, but due to an ability to regenerate [...]
Movie Premiere of Abed
On March 1, 2012, I attended the premiere of Abed, a film directed by Ryan Lieske based on the short story by Elizabeth Massie. It rocked. Lieske only left one thing out from the story: purple zombie cum…and, honestly, I think I would have thrown up on my shoes if he did include that detail. I barely held it together [...]
The Dead Returns to Romero Basics [DVD Review]
The Dead by the Ford Brothers was a very pleasant surprise; I haven’t been watching as many zombie flicks lately because most of them seemed to be made by non-zombiephiles. I don’t know any technical terms about the filming process, and I usually just watch movies for entertainment value anyway…but I noticed right away that the quality of the film [...]
Ryan Lieske Puts Abed To Film [Interview]
Several months back, I heard from Richard Raphael that the story Abed by Elizabeth Massie was being made into a movie. I thought I would see if Abed would make for a good review here at The Zombiephiles. Not only was it the most gruesome zombie tale I’ve ever read, but I wondered how in the hell they were going [...]
Avery Nolan vs. Zombies in 1959
Avery Nolan: Private Dick of the Dead by Tony Faville, edited by Felicia A. Sullivan, and with cover art by Robert Elrod, was not what I expected at all; the title led me to believe that this would be a humorous undead tale about a detective, Dick Tracy-style, but, instead, this was a serious and elaborate crime/mystery/thriller with zombies. Granted, [...]
Vaughn Surprises in Zombie Wonderland [Interview]
Zombie Wonderland by Piper Vaughn is anything but a typical zombie story. Emery has a crush on a regular customer by the name of Ross, and Ross shows up on Christmas Eve to warn Emery about the undead outbreak. Ross even has a survival plan in place. Of course, Emery thinks he must be dreaming because he was hoping to see [...]
The Crossing in McKinney’s Dead World
The Crossing is much shorter than I expected…not unlike zombie flash fiction. It takes place in the setting of the Dead World series, which fans will really enjoy. Samantha is a reporter who snuck into the Zone to expose the government’s lies about the infection and the people who were trapped there. She joins up with a small group right away, [...]
