Default Yes, I'm a Zombie Lover: Books

Between 1968, 1970 my Mom took me to the movies to see George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead, just me and her, and no siblings. I was hooked.

Well, Audible Books has some titles and voices that might make it worth your while. Did you ever sit around the campfire listening to scary tales? Did your mother or father tell you bedtime stories to thrill you before bed and prayers? Or di dyou listen to some radio teleplay like Orwell's "War of the Worlds?" Well, you get my drift.

One book is entitled "Day By Day: Armageddon" by J. L. Bourne, read by Jay Snyder. And there's a great sequel entitled, "Beyond Exile." The other is entitled "Dead City" by Joe McKinney, read by Michael Kramer. I love that there's no sarcasm, no hip smart-alecky attitude in the narrative or by the reader. No demons or spiritism. Just science gone wrong. Oh, and I'm a fan of the boyscout protagonist whether soldier or cop. I hate cynics.

I've tried others, but these are the best of the lot. Ironicially, both start off in San Antonio, Texas.

Zombies are the best allegory for betrayal and disappointment in our fellowman. They look like the people you like and love, but their just greedy to take you down. Or if they're your loved ones, we've all been met with disappointment when one of them doesn't come through for you in a pinch.

When I was wondering if I'd have to live the rest of my life in a wheelchair, I'd listen in to the tales of folks who were definitely having it worse than me. Hey, they were putting down the putrid living dead.

Oh, Mom, what did you do to me?

Yep, cannot stop talking about The Walking Dead myself. I'm sad that the season just ended too.

My favourite zombie movies are 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead. I've yet to see Night of The Living Dead.

Default World War Z

World war z is by far my favorite zombie book, a sieries of short stories about the war against the undead. Unfortunately the new movie coming out isn't going to do the book justice.

I ADORE zombies and almost cried this year when they ended the season for the walking dead this year...

Here's one for ya though, true fact, the farmhouse and cemetery Romero used for the original Night living Dead flick was filmed on my (and i hope this is understandable) first hubbies high school buddies grandmothers farm. Romero bought the entire property for the movie, and then deeded it back to the original owner (from what I heard).

I thought the ex was BSing about it all, but one day while at his family's home outside of Somerset PA. I was EXTREMELY creeped out at the tender age of 17...ah those were the days, no pain yet, just life to live

I haven't heard the books on tape yet, but that could be really interesting! Thanks for the idea
