Eve of the Dead

Eve of the Dead
by Nathan Tucker
“The world as we know it has fallen into a state of chaos. The dead are rising, and are attacking the last remaining living people. Businesses and residences that have not yet been overrun by the hordes of ghouls are being ransacked by looters. A small group of survivors from the countryside seek shelter and supplies at a large superstore just outside the city limits. They must use every resource available to be able to survive against marauders…the living and the dead.”

The plot sounds very Dawn of the Dead(original)ish.. I’m a bit curious to see how it reads. Maybe.. just maybe… I’ll start a section for reviews of everything the Buy Zombie staff reads/watches!

Zombie CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead
by: Jonathan Maberry
“When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth…

And law enforcement is ready to take them down!

Since Night of the Living Dead, zombies have been a frightening fixture on the pop culture landscape, lumbering after hapless humans, slurping up brains and veins and whatever warm, fleshy matter they can clench in their rotting limbs. But what if they were real? What would happen if, tomorrow, corpses across the nation began springing up out of their graves and terrorizing the living?

Employing hard science and solid police work not—to mention jaw-dropping (literally!) humor—Zombie CSU is the only guide you need to make it through alive—not undead. At last you can:

Investigate zombie crime scenes, collecting and analyzing evidence of zombie attacks, and create a “murder book”

Examine the psychology of the zombie and develop a perp profile.

Observe medical science pros as they probe felled zombies for forensic clues.

Devise a zombie apocalypse survival scorecard and more!

Complete with lists of must-see zombie flicks from around the globe and tons of tips for kicking undead butt, Zombie CSU features hundreds of interviews with real zombie experts, forensics experts, detectives, filmmakers, and more.

Special guest stars: Tony Todd, Brian Keene, Patricia Tallman, David Wellington, James Gunn, Robert Kirkman, Dr. Wade Davis, Robert Sacchetto, Zombie Squad, Ramsey Campbell, Kim Paffenroth, Jamie Russell, Michael CJ Kelly, Bruce Andy Bohne, and dozens more!”

I’m actually a bit hyped to be posting that this book came out. I haven’t read it yet (though I did just order it!) This marks the first time (that I’m aware of at least) that the author of a book actually posted a comment here! Definetely checking it out for that reason alone as how can we not help but want to support those of you who support us :)

Bogus Dead

Bogus Dead
“The Living Dead, (aka “Zombies”) have begun to rise from the dead and violently and indiscriminately attack and eat the living. Within weeks, society has collapsed entirely. Small groups of human beings survive: holed-up in schools, hospitals, and shopping malls, desperately fighting to stay alive. Only a few things are known about these “Zombies”: - They desperately crave the flesh and brains of the living. - They may only be killed by destroying their brains, via a bullet, incineration, or other extreme trauma. - They possess only a rudimentary intelligence, and seem to operate on instinct and very dim memories of their prior life. - Any person who dies will become a zombie within hours of their death. Those bitten by a zombie will become ill and eventually become zombies as well. 42 cartoonists from around the world have come together in 144 pages of raw, black & white comix, to describe this terrific sequence of events.”

Zombie Haiku

Zombie Haiku
“What you are looking at is a document from the early days of the zombie plague. Little is known about the author before his infection–only that he was a poet. This facsimile of his actual journal recounts the events of humanity’s darkest hours through the intimate poetry of haiku. Inside you’ll find increasingly disjointed and terrifying three-line poems (all in the classic 5-7-5 syllable structure), and follow the undead poet on a journey through deserted streets and barricaded doors. Experience every eye-popping, gut-wrenching, flesh-eating moment of the eventual downfall of the human race from the point of view of a zombie, and gain insight to help you survive–if you can. ”

The Zen of Zombie

The Zen of Zombie
“Do you struggle out of bed each morning and sway lifelessly across the room, mouth agape, arms hanging slack, murmuring unintelligibly? Well, take heart: you’re not alone! But these other staggering, limp, perpetually drowsy folks just happen to be zombies—and it turns out they can teach us a lot about enjoying life. And only here, between the covers of this book, will you learn their secrets to happiness. Learn how to slow down and move at your own pace, become your own boss, and just devour those irritating people who get in your way. And there’s more, because zombies can offer no-nonsense advice on love, playing to your strengths, and on becoming more adaptable.”

While I wouldn’t normally decide to inflict a self-help on you this can have many plusses to reading. To know your enemy is to help defeat your enemy!

Zombie Escape Plan blank book journal

June 1, 2008 · Filed Under Books · Comment 


Zombie Escape Plan blank book journal
Seriously what a great idea: “PLEASE NOTE: The book shown here is NOT the exact book you will get. That was the first Zombie Escape Plan journal I made. Each one is made by hand, so yours will be a little different. Also, the paper I use is repurposed from old books, so you will not get the same pages. The pages shown are typical of what I like to use, but yours will be different.

*******************************************************

This journal was inspired by a thread in the forums about zombies and how to kill them. It turned into quite a long thread, and it became quite apparent that a lot of people spend time thinking about what they would do in case of a zombie attack.

http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5066577&page=11

You definitely don’t want to get caught without a plan when the zombies come! Where will you hide? What can you do to protect yourself? How can you kill them?

You’ll need a place to write down all your ideas and plans, so you’ll be prepared when the time comes.

But what makes this book extra special are the pages of information that may come in handy while you are making your escape plan.* Although your exact pages will differ from the ones shown, there will be maps, first aid information and various medical diagrams, with a particular focus on the brain and nervous system.

The spiral-bound book measures 5.5 inch x 4.25 inches and is the perfect size to shove in a purse or backpack so you’ll have it handy when needed.

There are approximately 210 pages (105 sheets of paper) and 150 pages (75 sheets) of them are blank. Mostly white, but there are also some blank sheets of colored papers. The rest of the pages are repurposed from a variety of books and maps.

*Disclaimer: These pages of information come from old books and maps and may not actually be useful in case of a zombie attack. In fact, they will most definitely NOT be about zombies at all. And even if the information is useful, it will not be complete because I do have to cut the pages down to fit the book. Also, any maps included will most likely not be of where you live.

But they LOOK good. I try to find weird and interesting pages from old books–especially old medical books–to use in these journals. And the randomness of the information is part of the fun.”
