I’ll give them credit for original marketing at the very least: Free contest for horror fans! Enter to win an appearance in the zombie world of The Return Man — an action-packed undead thriller coming in March 2012 from publisher Hodder & Stoughton. One winner’s name will be immortalized as a character in the actual [...]

We’ve given the Zombie Rights ally lots of updates on the unfortunate production of the, ahem, adaptation of Max Brooks’ infamous hate novel ‘World War Z’ into a big Hollywood blockbuster here on the ZRC blog. However, what would you say if I told you that all that money, and all that Anti-Zombie violence on [...]

Well, it seems that Robert Kirkman’s shadowy web of evil continues to expand: Robert Kirkman’s first in a three book series with Thomas Dunne Books, an imprint of St. Martin’s Press will hit shelves nationwide October 11th and is now available for pre-sale on Amazon.com. The book, which Kirkman co-authored with horror genre vet Jay [...]

We’ve had our issues with, well, most of the mainstream press here at the ZRC. That’s why I’ve got searchable tags for Journamalism *and* Mainstream Media, after all. Still, the New York Times seems to want to make a name for itself with narrow-minded Anti-Zombie vision, and this latest take on recent Zombie literature is [...]

We brought you news here on the ZRC blog before about a Minnesota public library’s tragic decision to use its position in the community to spread Anti-Zombie prejudice to children. That was a ghastly story and quite shocking. Horrifyingly, it seems to be only one instance.. of a trend: There have been unconfirmed reports of [...]

Given the explosion of Anti-Zombie and outright Living Supremacist fiction over the last few years, it was probably inevitable that we would see publishing imprints dedicated explicitly to publishing more attacks on the Differently Animated. And so it has come to pass with ‘Print is Dead’: Print Is Dead is up and shambling, keeping us [...]

Here’s a depressing tale about how some libraries in Minnesota have decided that hate literature is the best way to promote reading to impressionable kids: Dakota County library sessions on zombie survival expands kids’ braaaaaains! … Zombies are the flesh-eating walking dead of movies and games. Should they ever actually roam the earth, Dakota County [...]

The so-called ‘Zombie Research Society’, who seem to have never conducted any actual research on Zombies beyond skimming previous works of Anti-Zombie prejudice and extrapolating from hate fiction, had a panel at Comic-Con this year, and they shot video. Naturally we feel the need to respond to their allegations and slanders. Here’s the first part [...]

‘Mars Needs Moms’ was a beloved children’s book that was adapted into a spectacularly poorly received animated film, released earlier this year in March. You may not have heard of the movie, and odds are you certainly did not see it; no one at the ZRC has either, although our Cultural Historian Andrew Leal was [...]

A spinoff book. A set of ridiculously creepy busts. An Anti-Zombie board game. Yes, ‘The Walking Dead’ is descending on Comic-Con like a plague of ravenous locusts, determined to destroy all compassion toward the Differently Animated as well as, perhaps, all of Western Civilization. They’re ambitious that way. AMC is helpfully even providing you with [...]
