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 [...]
Live-Action Zombie Shopping Mall Game
What do you get the zombiephile who has everything? How about a three-hour live-action zombie-slaying adventure in an abandoned shopping mall? That’s right – for a limited time (due to the fact that the venue is slated for imminent demolition), you can live out your zombie survival fantasies in real life (albeit with Airsoft paintball guns) for the somewhat low, [...]

Michigan Zombiephiles Strike Again! [Movie Review]
Michigan is putting out some serious zombie movies, and Mimesis is definitely one that stands out from all the rest. It’s not just people trying to survive an outbreak or make a stand in a zombie apocalypse; some horror fans find themselves forced into roles of “Night of the Living Dead,” the ultimate remake, complete with real zombies. Essentially, some [...]
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, [...]
