Most are dead from before the moment they set foot outside their humble abodes. It is as if the sky itself is dead. All I ever see is rain. Torrential downpours that never cease and continually pelt the living dead. It seems that God has sent this Plague to us to punish us for the sins of the world, and to cleanse it. I recently went on an expedition from the…

We, and apparently everyone else dating back to the early 1900s, imagine the zombie as abysmally lethargic, with greyed skin, mutilated limbs, and an unending desire to consume living flesh. Parker regales the reader with a tale of the zombie’s evolution through poetry, books, movies, television, and even songs. He gives the reader a front-row seat to precisely how the imagination of a few leads to a singular image in the…

    g, I slam down the gas pedal, speeding down the road towards town. When we drove past the plaza with the orthodontist’s office, it was surrounded by zombies.

We had it for things like hurricanes or…

    would be the Wellness Center. The very first thing a person must check on a building is the amount of exits and entrances it has, because that not only defines the number of ways to escape in case of emergency, but also the number of ways the walking dead can break in and eat the remaining survivors. The Wellness center has several entrances, including the big glass doors and windows in the front that give people an idea of how easy it is for the zombies to break in. Despite how unsafe and easy…
