The people they kill get up and kill!

I saw this on my friend's blog and thought I'd take a crack at it...

You are in a mall when zombies attack. You have"
1.) One weapon.
2.) One song blasting on the speakers.
3.) One person to fight along side you (historical or fictional).

What are your choices?

1) Desert Eagle 6" .357 caliber pistol with a lot of spare ammunition. Remember, when it comes to zombies, you MUST destroy the brain!


2) The Misfits' Bullet EP or Iron Maiden's "Run To The Hills" come to mind. I know that the Misfits EP isn't a song, but it's pretty damn short, so put that in your picnic basket.



3) Teddy Roosevelt, the manliest President of the United States of America!

Late To The Party: World War Z


Max Brooks' World War Z hit in 2006 and quickly became a New York Times Bestseller. I got around to reading it this week.

Man alive does this book rule!

Brooks is able to do something no zombie film has been able to do; show the massive scope of a zombie infestation. By using several narrators, Brooks explores different points in the story's history. From the first outbreak to the aftermath of the war, Brooks grabs the audience by our shirt collars and thrusts us into a world where the dead rise not just in Pittsburgh, but in Kyoto, Siberia, Yonkers...everywhere!

It's something that's never been done before and hot damn, it elevates the zombie genre to whole new heights. I give it an A+!
