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 [...]
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 [...]
Michael McFarland Kicks Zombie Ass [Interview]
Okay,zombiephiles…remember when I said that D’Orazio and DiLouie set the bar for 2011? Well, Michael McFarland met that challenge with his novel, Wormwood. It reminded me of The Jakarta Pandemic, but with the most wicked reanimating virus I have ever come across in any plot. Wormwood was as emotionally devastating as the ending of Dead Sea by Brian Keene. Divided [...]
Recently Undead: Newbie Author Dane Grannon [INTERVIEW]
Lucky Streak is the story of a thief talking about his life to scientist at a military compound. Lucky explains how he was just going about his usual routines, oblivious to the initial outbreak. Details of the zombie infection are understated, as Lucky struggles to retell his personal account. The scientist is hoping that Lucky’s experience may provide some insight [...]
Beyond The Dark: End of the Dark Trilogy by D’Orazio [INTERVIEW]
Usually, I have to reread the previous books in the series to remind myself about the main characters, and ongoing storyline. In the case of the Dark Trilogy, Patrick D’Orazio wrote his scenes with such intensity that I remembered very well who Jeff Blaine was, and the horrific journey he was on with his fellow companions in an undead apocalypse. [...]
Poll: Zombies VS The CDC
The internet is all abuzz this month about the publication by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) this month of a “Zombie Preparedness 101″ blog post which purports to educate the unwashed masses about how best to prepare themselves for the inevitable zombie outbreak. We’ve discussed that blog post, and it’s obvious fallacies, elsewhere, but we thought it would only [...]
CDC Shares Zombie Outbreak Preparation Tips and Strategies
It seems that somebody at the CDC has been reading everyone’s favorite zombie blog. At least, that’s the only conclusion we Zombiephiles can come to after reading the CDC’s latest blog post – entitled Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse. Yup, you read that right – the CDC has posted a blog article that bears some very striking similarities to our own [...]
