Serena Valentino, Undead: Everything the Modern Zombie Needs to Know. San Francisco, CA: Weldon Owens, 2012. ISBN: 9781616283971.
This is a guide for the modern zombie as well as folks who may be friendly and supportive of zombies, or perhaps wish to join the undead. Want to express your zombie pride? This may be the book for you.
The book is divided into three major parts:
- How to join the hideous legion of the undead.
- Fearsome fashion and frightful fun.
- Adventures in advanced zombiedom.
Within each part you get chapters dealing with various topics such as:
- Quizzes and trivia.
- Anatomy of a zombie and zombie types.
- Zombie fashion.
- Lists of books and films.
One helpful element is in the fashion chapters. If you want to cosplay as a zombie, the book does provide some good tips and advice to put a good costume together.
Much of the book is written with some tongue in cheek humor, so if that is your thing then you may like the book. If you are looking more for serious zombie horror, this may not be the book for you.
Overall, the humor is light, and the trivia can be interesting. I liked the lists of books and films for ideas of other things to check out. The book is amusing and light. It's a relatively quick read. I liked it. The text is supplemented by full color art and photos throughout.
3 out of 5 stars.
