Published by

Today, we interview Dana Fredsti, author of the Ashley Parker trilogy of zombie thrillers. Not only does Dana write about zombies, but she also played a Deadite in Sam Raimi’s Army of Darkness. This makes her as close to a zombie expert as you can get. Share this on Facebook>>> PYN: Tell us about your latest zombie novel!s Dana Fredsti: It’s the third book in the Ashley Parker trilogy, the first being Plague Town, the second Plague Nation, and this one being Plague World.

The Meaning of Zombies

Published by

Today we interview Ace Antonio Hall about all things zombie! Be sure to check at the bottom of the interview for a chance to enter the Rafflecopter drawing for a $10 Amazon gift card. PYN: Why are zombies so popular now? What do zombies “mean” or represent? Ace: First, let’s look at the definition: zom·bie – source: dictionary.com [zom-bee] noun the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and without will, by a supernatural force. (Haitian Creole: zonbi; North Mbundu:nzumbe) is an animated corpse brought back to life by mystical means. “Zombi” is also another name of the Vodou snake There was a time when, in my opinion, zombies were a symbolic metaphor for the mental state of the U. S. citizen—we were mute and without will—taking whatever the political leaders of our great country dished out. In a country where only 54.9% of the voting age population voted in the last election, Americans seemed zombified; shambling along in their own lives, participating in affairs which affect all people living …

Undead Obsessed:  Finding Meaning in Zombies By: Jessica Robinson Genre:  Nonfiction, pop culture Publisher:  Booktrope Date of Publication: October 31, 2014 ISBN-10: 1620155923; ISBN-13: 978-1620155929 Number of pages:  202 Cover Artist:  Greg Simanson Zombies. I can take them or leave them. But I know people who was OBSESSED with them. Do not get between them and the latest episode of The Walking Dead. So what’s the deal with all the zombies? Jessica Robinson explores just this question in Undead Obsessed: Finding Meaning in Zombies. Setting her apart from the zombie horde, the author focuses on the zombie/science nexus. This non-fiction book starts with a zombie overview, looking at both today’s definition and zombies through various cultures and historical periods. (I learned a lot of fun facts in this chapter). But the author really gets going on the scientific questions. How is the zombie pathogen transmitted? Where can you get fresh water after a zombie apocalypse? How might zombies be used in biological warfare? This exceedingly well-researched and thorough exploration of zombiedom is an original take on the genre. …

Since the undead have chased the living into hiding, the necromancers are able to roam freely in a new America of their making. Asher is seeking safe harbor. The need for safety is what drove him from his home in Philadelphia Pennsylvania before it was shelled.
