Author Description

Product description This book, in the popular "101 Series," aims at people who fear that they may not get to see all the good zombie movies, or read all the good zombie books and comics, before the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse. A friendly, accessible guide to the wonderful world of zombie mayhem in all its forms, this book appeals to the "zombie-curious," those who want to find the good stuff and show off for their friends. The goal is for someone to be able to buy this, and then buy a bunch of other zombie movies, games, books, and so on with confidence. Modeled after such short, light-tone books as the "Bluffers Guide" series, Zombies 101 combines clear, basic answers to common first questions ("What is a Zombie?" "Why a Zombie Apocalypse?" "Who is George Romero?" "Do They Really Want Our Brains?") with lists ("10 Best Zombie Movies," "12 Proven Zombie-Killing Tactics," "8 Great Survival Horrors (Without Zombies)"), guidelines ("Fast or Slow: The Great Zombie Debate," "Zombie-Proof Your House in 7 Easy Steps") and overviews of zombies in anthropology ("That Voodoo They Do"), science ("Why Science Fears The Zombie Menace"), and pop culture ("Zombie Comics," "Zombie Games," "Zombie Rock," "8 Weird Places We Found Zombies" etc.) alike. Graphically clean and friendly, Zombies 101 will feature great cartoon art by Drew Pocza.
