Basically, this book takes a select moments out of the “Recorded Attacks” section of Survival Guide and animates them in all their gruesome history. If you read Survival Guide in it’s entirety, then a lot of this will seem very familiar to you. That transition begins with The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks. So it’s only natural that, at some point, there would be a natural progression from the strictly written medium to the comic book medium, before undoubtedly being adapted into a feature film or TV series (Brad Pitt’s production company owns the rights to the World War Z film). Max Brooks is the world’s most knowledgeable source of zombie survival, thus making his book the most trusted survival guide in zombie history. Outside of comic books though, ask anyone what the most popular literary zombie book is and they (if they are in the know) will most definitely tell you it’s Max Brooks’ World War Z and Zombie Survival Guide. In comic books we are most familiar with Robert Kirkman’s sprawling epic, The Walking Dead. People LOVE these undead buggers, and ultimately they are the single most popular “villain” of the modern day horror era, no matter what medium you go to. Love ’em or hate ’em, they’re a big part of our modern day pop culture.

Nick Hornby, from his blog A wonderful, wonderful book: wise, funny, perceptive, compassionate and often unbearably sad. the perfect beach read for people who are normally repelled by the very idea of beach reads. brilliant on the details of the last couple of decades of British cultural and political life. Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable.
