Now Shipping: "World War Z"

A few weeks ago we reported on "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War" [Amazon], an upcoming Max Brooks' novel interviewing survivors of a zombie apocalypse. We thought you like to know that the book ships today!

The Company Line: "Ten years after the human victory over the world wide Zombie epidemic, referred to as World War Z, Max Brooks scours the world collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived the conflict that almost eradicated humanity." ... Max Brooks’s previous book, The Zombie Survival Guide, formed the core of the world’s civilian survival manuals during the Zombie War. Mr. Brooks subsequently spent years traveling to every part of the globe in order to conduct the face-to-face interviews that have been incorporated into this present publication."

There's also an audiobook version of the novel for you elliterate types.

Again, we're not sure if every gamer loves zombies, but we sure as hell do. Well, maybe love is the wrong word, but were defiitely fascinated by anything that: is mindless, just won't die, wants to gnaw on our brains, and turns us into something that's mindless, won't die, and gnaws on brains. Yep, Zombies rate pretty and high on the anti-bladder-control scale of 1 to Whoops!!

Max Brooks also wrote the Zombie Survival Guide, a hilarious and informative reference that's a must for any zombie aficionado.
