Not nearly as great as his follow up, “World War Z” one of my favorite books ever, but definitely worth a read if you're a zombie nerd like me. It's like sitting around with fellow horror nerds and hashing out every little detail of how to deal with the undead. With as much work as Brooks put into researching the “what if's?” of zombie lore, there's really no excuse anymore for Hollywood to not get a bit more imaginative and also less silly, about how their human protagonists handle the undead.
I'm looking at you, Walking Dead.
I'll admit, this was quite amusing to read while in quarantine... especially the part of the book where Brooks says: “How could those in power, especially in such a modern, enlightened age as ours, ignore the spread of a deadly disease until it reached plague proportions?”
How indeed, Mr. Brooks...how indeed...
