SynopsisFrom how one became a zombie in the first place and the stages of zombification to survival mechanisms, this handbook offers specific advice on what a fresh zombie needs to know about 'life' expectancy, hunting techniques, hitching a ride, hand-to-mouth combat, and feeding etiquette., Being undead can be disorienting. Your arms and other appendages tend to rot and fall off. It's difficult to communicate with a vocabulary limited to moans and gurgles. And that smell (Yes, it's you .) But most of all, you must constantly find and ingest human brains. Braaaains What's a zombie to do?

Dozens of helpful diagrams outline attack strategies, such as the Ghoul Reach, the Flanking Zack, the Bite Hold, and the Aerial Fall, to secure your human prey. You'll even learn how to successfully extract the living from boarded up farmhouses and broken down vehicles. This handbook also explores the upside of being a zombie. Gone are the burdens of employment, taxes, social networks, even basic hygiene, allowing you to focus on simple necessities in "life" the juicy gray matter found in the skulls of the living., All aspects of the zombie lifestyle are surveyed in this satirical take on an orientation manual for the newly undead.

  • A must read for your zombie

    Well what can you say about a book for the newly undead? After reading a bit of it, I gave it to one of my zombies to read. Within a few minutes they were arguing about who was going to read it. Can't much blame them. It makes a good read even for the living.
