The Zombie Survival Guide, by Max Brooks


I wanted to get some of the basics down first. This will be the first of several posts and reviews of some things that every zombie enthusiast should be familiar with.

First up, The Zombie Survival Guide.

Arguably the best zombie book ever written, Max Brook's legendary tome of practical zombie survival strategies is a must have for every zombie . This is a book not just worth reading, but worth buying. You can read it over and over. Included is practical advice on how to defend against the walking dead, whether at home, on the run, in a defensible location, or almost anywhere else. It even includes a chapter on how to cope with the worst-case-scenario, a Zombie Apocalypse.

Not only is this book incredibly informative, it's wonderfully entertaining. Written like any other survival manual, it's very easy to lose yourself in it. It tends to make even the most down to earth person start thinking seriously about the possibility of a zombie outbreak.

The website is here, http://www.randomhouse.com/crown/zombiesurvivalguide/index2.html I suggest you check it out.

  1. I also think you'll find these tips useful not only in real life but in certain gaming situations as well.

  2. Perhaps we have taken the tongue part too far as in, 'tongue in cheek'. If you try and follow 75% of Max Brooks advice in The Zombie Survival Guide, you will probably die.
