Summary edit see section history

Part humor and part horror, Ryan Mecum takes us on a journey of what zombie life was like before-during-and after "the change". Told in diary format and then broken down into haiku poetry, readers are taken on a bloody and very descriptive journey into eating brains. Gross, but entertaining.

Quotes edit see section history

  • “I punched him. He bit me. I was able to get away and kill the guy ( or re-kill the guy?) by slamming the bathroom door on his head,alot. Not pretty. During the slam-fest his arm got caught on this side of the door and i severed it off. In his hand was this journal. Now I'm alone in a locked bathroom with a journal, a pen, and an arm of a dead man who came alive and died again. Is that murder? If so, lock me up.Ha Ha! I guess I'm already locked up, so case dismissed!”
    Chris Lynch
