Hi guys (and gals)..
In the mood for a good creeping-out?
Try reading World War Z by Max Brooks. It's an "oral history" of the worldwide Zombie war that breaks out in the near future. In my opinion, it's very well written and creepy enough for me to have kept looking over my shoulder while I was reading it at night.
The 'interviews' are regular people, doctors, soldiers, survivors, Generals, guys on the International Space Station, sub captains, etc, etc.. just a cross section of everyone from all over the globe. It documents how they reacted to the zombie outbreak, what worked, what didn't work, how they survived the undead hoardes (the guy that was on the Int'l Space Station talks about 'jacking into military spy satellites to get a look of what's going on down on Earth- it gets really creepy when he mentions "mega-swarms' of undead on the Great Plains that measure miles across...)
At times it can be funny (calling survivors LaMOE's (pronounced Lame-O's) which stands for Last Man On Earth or Robinson Crusoes- survivors that somehow lived through the waves of undead and not only survived, but thrived..), at times poignant, very creepy and sometimes very sad..
Brooks did a damn good job writing this... it's available just about everywhere... I downloaded Kindel for free and then downloaded the book for less than 10 bucks... well worth the money, too.
PS Best part is that some of the defensive measures taken can be potentially used in the case of a nationwide Bongo-party!!! (Hence my pet nicknames for niggers: Tar Zombies).
