ZOMBIES!!!!

We are always hearing about it now, “The Zombie Apocalypse”. The idea that the world will end with the dead rising is a little crazy but we are hearing about all these books, movies and even one very popular TV show. The “Walking Dead” is a popular TV show on AMC is set in Georgia and it shows what happens after the first panic. Then we have built up to how are we going to move on with our lives and survive our new reality.  

            The main characters each try to understand what has happened and if they can move on from all the change. Like how you watched your sister get bitten and die right before you, or are you going to just give up and end it before you can meet an end you didn’t want.

            Now the movies have taken different ways.  In “28 days later” the zombies are people with a virus that makes them very made the virus itself is called “rage”.( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289043/ )  “Shaun of the Dead” on the other hand takes a funnier approach and makes the zombies their classic deadness but he tries to get his ex back. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365748/  )

            Zombie books have also started taking a spot light in the ring of books. “World War Z” by Max Brooks is set in now but says that there was a time when zombies were taking over the world and the testimonies of those who survived it.  We are now taking books of the past and mixing zombies in to them. In “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” it’s a mash-up of the classic book and zombie fiction ideas.  One of my favorite zombie’s books would be the book “Married with Zombies” (http://www.jessepetersen.net/married-with-zombies/) it’s the idea that even with the zombie apocalypse going on you can still save your marriage. It is a series of books and they are great so I would recommend you read then.

            A book that might be handy to have would be “The Zombie Survival Guide” by Max Brooks. This book is a book that when you read it you will start wondering if you might need to run to the store and buy some stuff to protect your home.

                 We may never have a real zombie apocalypse but you  can sure make a living making up what might happen.
