by Brent Abell Zombies are a part of pop culture for better or for worse. Most things within the horror genre run in cycles, but right now it seems like the zombie will keep shambling for years to come. What is it about them that we devour everything we can about them? Do we really …
by Shawn Chesser Stage 1: Oh Crap! I promised what, to whom, when? Like one of those well-dressed Sunday morning callers bearing flimsy paper pamphlets, this gut-clenching realization comes a’ knocking the moment my book release party is over and I’m shutting the laptop—“For a month, honey. I promise”—and pushing away from the office desk. …
by Rebecca Besser When the zombie apocalypse happens, things would change. Life as we know it would be gone in an instant. Commerce would surely cease to exists, at least for a while. There would be, possibly, years where no new goods would be introduced or be accessible. At least not until civilization could rebuild …
by Jack Wallen “You’re listening to … WZMB … Zombie Radio. Your personal…” You get the idea. No seriously, you GET IT! Which means, by proxy, you get me. Or not. Or what? What exactly am I trying to say here? Oh yeah, I remember. I started Zombie Radio in 2011, as a means to …

While the majority of my characters are conjured up solely by my imagination, the ones I seem to connect most with are based on family. In my Surviving …
by Armand Rosamilia I think I touched on this during the Summer of Zombie tour but it bears repeating. It’s going to be weird to not write these characters and another Dying Days book.

by Jessica Gomez Are you ever in a store, restaurant, or even at work when you think, what would I do if the zombie apocalypse happened at this moment? I have. More than I probably should. I have escape routes and plans all over the place. The major question you have to ask yourself is, …
by Chris Philbrook I want to write a new zombie novel. Not a new novel in the Adrian’s Undead Diary series, but something entirely new. A new concept. A new cause. A new perspective. A new plot.
