I wonder why it is that, of all the potentially Zombie animals out there, it’s dogs that seem to inspire the most fiction. Perhaps the earliest I became aware of this phenomenon was in the story ‘The Pack’ by Chet Williamson, written in 1991. (Now that’s a gruesome one, more than a bit strange, and, [...]

This short article from the Press Association outlines how a person can be disturbed for all the wrong reasons by Anti-Zombie media: Andrew Lincoln says fighting zombies on The Walking Dead meant he had quite a few disturbing days on set. “Pretty much every day I was shocked and surprised,” the actor admitted in Beverly [...]

Had some ZRC computer issues that ate up a big chunk of my day today. Yes, I run a good anti-virus/anti-malware program (Avast!), and yes, it’s always on, and yes, it auto-updates. Still got a Trojan. Sigh. But hey, everything’s cleaned off now, and I get back online to find out that the whole world’s [...]

Yeah yeah, I know it was a dream sequence, and clearly over the top at that, but we still have to deal with the fact that, in our society, it’s still considered acceptable for a doctor to, say, unload round after round from a pump action shotgun into Zombies rather than treat them as human [...]
