Stephens, John Richard “The Book of the Living Dead”

deadaerisDecember 2, 2010

I bought this book on impulse while browsing a local bookstore.  The subtitle, “Explore the other side of mortality with the world’s greatest authors” caught my eye.  I realized that I had read new stories from authors like Neil Gaiman and Stephen […]

Brooks, Max “The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks”

deadaerisDecember 1, 2010

This book is very thin but very well written and illustrated.  The book examines 12 noteworthy incidents in zombie history and brings them to you in gory black and white.  One of my favorites is the explanation for the mummification method in […]

Protter, Eric “Monster Festival”

deadaerisDecember 1, 2010

Before introducing “Monster Festival”, I’d like to mention that I have always been fond of it.  I first encountered it at my school library in elementary school, and read it in middle and high school several times after.  At one time, I […]

More stories by an amazing author…

deadaerisNovember 29, 2010

I really enjoyed The Dead That Walk because the stories felt very fresh and new.  I was accustomed to reading zombie literature and feeling terror and revulsion, but not really any sorrow or sympathy before.  The stories were also very unpredictable – […]

Skipp, John “Zombies Encounters with the Hungry Dead”

deadaerisOctober 23, 2010

This is a collection of stories edited and selected by author John Skipp.  Overall it was an enjoyable read.  None of the stories were boring, but more than a few made me squeamish.  Most of the stories are non-traditional and feature literary […]

Paffenroth, Kim. “Dying to Live: Life Sentence”

deadaerisOctober 23, 2010

This is the sequel to the book “Dying to Live”.  It continues with the same characters and introduces new characters.  Again, unfortunately I am not able to say too much about the storyline, as it will give away too many spoilers. This […]
