LEGO® is different from every other childhood toy you had. Sure, you might look back with a certain nostolgic fondness at your GI Joes, or your Ninja Turtles, or whatever it was that you were really into growing up, but odds are that good will doesn’t go much further than occasional remembrances. For tens of… Read more »

Zombie Book Review: The Flu
Ever read a book that you were really excited about, but found it to be not at all what you thought? That is what happened when I read The Flu by Jacqueline Druga. This book describes the reemergence of the deadly 1918 Spanish Flu that killed between 50 to 100 million people worldwide. I expected… Read more »
Zombie Book Review: The Last Mailman
Having a strong central character is important to any story (especially the first-personal perspective stories), but a lot of books get it wrong. When they think of a strong character, they think of Rambo mixed with Einstein. A character who can kick the ass of any challenger while solving a Rubik’s Cube, and saving an… Read more »

In the distant future, we are faced with a world that has crumbled not by the undead, but by overpopulation and power shifts amongst governments. America is basically a third-world country while Russia, Israel, North Korea are now the super powers. Drinkable water is a… Read more »
Non-Fiction Zombie Book Review: Better Off Dead
Yeah, you read the title right, a non-fiction zombie book. How can such a thing exist you might ask? Well Better Off Dead is a collection of essays explaining zombie lore, touching on everything from word-of-mouth stories from ‘way back when’, to modern undead culture, occasionally giving websites like Zombie Squad a mention. (if you… Read more »
Zombie Book Review: Z.N.A.
Z.N.A. was a strange reading experience, much like reading two books at the same time. It starts as a rather classic Zombie Survival story… but around the middle of the book the whole thing unexpectedly turns into some kind of Heroes (the TV Show) kind of thing. I don’t really have anything against mash ups… Read more »
