Max Brooks is a genius. Not only has he written two classic zombie best sellers, but he re-defined the genre. I credit him with a great deal of the revitalization of zombies in popular culture. Every day we see a new zombie novel, video game or movie. The Fukerton got the opportunity to discuss all of these things with Max. We also got an update on his new graphic novel and the World War Z movie. It was a thrill.

i bought this audiobook for when i was driving to the obx and to be honest, it wasn’t that great, it’s a compilation of interviews of people recounting their traumatic stories, to be honest it was kindof boring, i dont know if this is separate from the book. i hope it is, because the audio book wasn’t all that great, if you like this, then your just a zombie fanboy
which is fine i suppose

I just creamed my pants. one of the best with a pen, with one of the best with a microphone. You sir are the brett heart of radio.

Chris, actually that is how the actual book goes. And just because you’re an 80 year old woman and listened to the book on audio doesn’t mean you have to be a fanboy to enjoy it. I’ve only ever read 2 zombie books, and this one is quite well written, and ties all the stories together much better than I expected it to. Start reading instead of listening to books.

Chad, I’m sure you probably already know this, but have you checked out the new Star Wars book, Death Troopers? It strands a team of Storm Troopers on board a derelict Star Destroyer and yup, they’re stranded with ZOMBIES!!! Star Wars and zombies sound awesome together.
