Rule #597 – NEVER film a low budget film on an island.

deadaerisFebruary 13, 2011

The third tale in “My Zombie Valentine” is from Marianne Mancusi.  Titled, “Zombiewood Confidential”, it tells the story of a production crew for Romeo George’s next big zombie film.  (Yes – that’s right.  Not George Romero, but Romeo George – very nice […]

A knockout book from a new author…

deadaerisJanuary 27, 2011

Ben Tripp’s “Rise Again” is a relatively recent addition to the annals of gore-encrusted zombie literature.  Before I get into the review, I have a terrible thing to admit.  Its absolutely unforgivable, but its true.  I wasn’t even aware of the existence […]

The [Undead] British are coming !

deadaerisJanuary 23, 2011

“Shaun of the Dead” came out in American theaters when I was a senior in high school.  At the time, I was heavily obsessed with Stephen King and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I saw a trailer for “Shaun of the […]

YAY ! At last – zombie poetry !

deadaerisJanuary 23, 2011

Finally !  Zombies are shambling into the world of poetry !  “Zombie Haiku” by Ryan Mecum was more entertaining than I had first expected it to be.  I thought that the book would be a disembodied jumble of different haiku versus dealing […]

deadaerisJanuary 22, 2011

When I was perusing the shelves of a local bookstore this summer, I accidentally bought the sequel to this book before buying “Day by Day Armageddon” by J. L. Bourne.  Those of you who know me might not be surprised, because when […]

Undead gone wild !

deadaerisJanuary 20, 2011

“Zombie Zoology” is just about as wild as it gets.  All puns aside, I am really impressed with this book.  I was a little skeptical at the beginning when I bought the book, because I wasn’t sure how many zombie tales could […]

Yet another great anthology if you’re looking for something new…

deadaerisJanuary 2, 2011

Yet again another gem of a book from Permuted Press.  “The Undead Zombie Anthology” is a really great anthology.  I’m not familiar with many of the authors, but I wouldn’t hesitate to read anything they write from now on – every author […]

deadaerisDecember 26, 2010

I posted my R.I.P. for Z.A. Recht on December 21st.  Technically it’s December 26th, and yesterday I finished “Thunder and Ashes“, the second book in the Morningstar Strain.  The marathon reading session was brought on by the amazing content of the book. […]

Spradlin, Michael P. “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies!”

deadaerisDecember 25, 2010

Since this is Christmas Eve I figured I’d thrown in a similarly-themed post.  I was re-arranging my books on my shelf tonight removing the ones I’d read to put into a box until I can get more shelves, and I came across […]

Adams, John Joseph “The Living Dead 2”

deadaerisDecember 21, 2010

I usually don’t buy a book solely because it received good reviews.  However, based on how much I loved the previous book (The Living Dead), combined with Simon Pegg‘s rave review, I bought the book without a second thought.  Add to this […]
