You may think you have some vague idea of what goes into making a cool piece of indie-cinema, but you'd be wrong.

If you're not familiar with American writer Stefan Petrucha, you should be. He's taking zombies in some groovy new directions--an innovator, pure and simple. And he knows his stuff. Petrucha writes adult and YA fiction on a variety of supernatural and speculative topics. And of course, he wrote the TimeTripper series. He has a plethora of books and graphic novels under his belt. I recently had the pleasure of reading Dead Mann Walking, A Hessius Mann Novel for review here at ZZN. In case you missed it, I liked it a lot. Happily, Stefan Petrucha was kind enough to … [Read more...]

DeadworldFO1cover

No one knows the legitimate science of The Living Dead better than Harvard Professor and ZZN Zombologist Dr. Steven Schlozman! When a reader asked us if Zombies could freeze, his name was on the short list of experts we turned to! Dr. Schlozman has penned a fantastic book called "Zombie Autopsies" that has caught the eye of the Zed Godfather himself George A. Romero. Even with a movie in the works and all of his Doctor Duties, Dr. Schlozman always makes time to answer a good Zombie Question. Just a heads up, Dr. S defines a Zombie as an Infected person not a … [Read more...]

World War Z a Trilogy?

World_War_Z___Movie_Thumb

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks was arguably one of the most epic and influential Zombie books of the 21st Century! Will the movie adaptation of the book live up to its inspiration? We find out on December 21, 2012! The release date is a brilliant, albeit predictable piece of marketing in its self as it is the date of the end of the world or some believe. If the world does begin to come to an end at the conclusion of this year, the last thing people will be doing is going to see a movie so perhaps its not the best idea after all. Die … [Read more...]
