When Zombies Continue to Attack (Updated)
I think most of us have read Max Brooks’ The Zombie Survival Guide, and I believe most of us would agree that the “record attacks” section at the end was the best part. that’s why Brooks went ahead and wrote World War Z, and why, I imagine, he’s written The Zombie Survival Guide: Record Attacks, due on October 6th. I’m 100% for it. But I wonder if, as this trailer for the book implies, the book will have illustrations of said attacks? I don’t think Brooks’ writing needs ’em, but I wouldn’t turn ’em down, either.
Update: So it’s a graphic novel. That would explain all the illustrations. I could blame the fact I was distracted and trying to get through the SW haiku, but the truth is I’m just an idiot.
