I have to be honest — I don’t get the whole zombie zeitgeist. I’d have thought — no, wait, did think — five years ago that we had reached the peak, that zombies were a fad and their day was done. Millions of viewers of The Walking Dead would beg to differ. Despite my firmContinue reading “Plotting with a Forecast of Zombies”

On Zombies and the Beatles
I don’t get the current fascination with zombies. I really don’t. Just Saturday, I saw at Barnes & Noble Shakespeare Undead, a zombie Shakespeare novel. I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which was amusing, but I liked Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, with no zombies but lots of steampunk, so much more.

On an Excess of Zombies
What is the fucking deal with zombies? I swear, sometimes it feels like the world has gone zombie-crazy. Everybody’s talking zombies. Zombies this, zombies that. Zombies, zombies, zombies. I don’t get it. Why, just today, I pounded my desk at work, lest I shout at the top of my lungs, “Stop with the fucking zombies,Continue reading “On an Excess of Zombies”

I don’t get it. What is the big freakin’ deal with zombies? I’d gone for years being completely unaware of zombies. Not my style of horror film. No real interest. The walking dead?

What’s still unclear is whether 18-year-old William Poole’s journal entries were a fictional story or details of a plan to recruit aContinue reading “Still more on Kentucky Zombies”

On Kentucky Zombies
This belongs in the annals of stupidity. A Kentucky high school student was arrested as a possible terrorist for writing a short story about zombies attacking a high school. From the article: Winchester police say William Poole, 18, was taken into custody Tuesday morning. Investigators say they discovered materials at Poole’s home that outline possibleContinue reading “On Kentucky Zombies”
