The humorous How to Speak Zombie: A Guide for the Living is now out from Chronicle Books (who also distributes Quirk Books, publisher of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies). It’s available for $14.95 and has 24 full color pages and a built-in sound module full of zombie sounds! From Chronicle’s description:

In a world overtaken by zombies, the only hope for survival lies in learning the language of the undead. How to Speak Zombie demonstrates how to blend in and avoid being eaten while carrying on with everyday activities like ordering a latte from a zombarista and shopping at a zombie-infested mall.

Also, listen to the samples here. Learn to order the cup of coffee before they eat your brains!

For the baby that has everything, there is this- the most awesome baby bib ever. If I had a kid, they would wear this. Seriously. Available for a measly $7.99 from ThinkGeek.

A new book written and edited by young adult authors Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier might just answer the age old question: who’s better, zombies oir unicorns? Find out in their book, aptly titled Zombies VS. Unicorns. Here’s their description of the book:

In this anthology, edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier (unicorn and zombie, respectively), strong arguments are made for both sides in the form of short stories.  Half of the stories portray the strengths – for good and evil – of unicorns and half show the good (and really, really bad-ass) side of zombies. This anthology will have everyone asking: Team Zombie or Team Unicorn?

This books seems so absurd, but I must admit different scenarios ran through my head when I heard it’s title, so they must be onto something. Available September 21st 2010, for $16.99,  from Simon & Schuster.

Do you love zombies and limericks? Well shit, then you should check out The Little Book of Zombie Limericks by Emily White. I myself hate limericks, but this could be humorous, especially if you enjoy a good undead poem. Here is the info from her Etsy page:

I have gone and written some zombie limericks!! (poems include how to deal with a horde of zombies, zombies looking for breakfast, Macon, GA zombies, smelly zombies, turning into a zombie, and more!) Plus I have hand bound them into a lovely little self published pocket book!! The book measures 4.25″ x 5.5″. Nine original zombie limericks, and many black and white pictures, drawn by me ;). This book has 16 pages, and the cover is a caution yellow card stock. Hand sewn binding in black thread. Would make a really unique card to give a zombie loving friend (fits in a standard note card envelope), or just one of those weird little coffee table books…Or bathroom reader!

This could all be yours for $6.00.  There is also a Volume II and III available.

From the article:

“You know us as Zombies,” said the spokesman, who used the moniker “Reg Shoe” after the zombie in the Terry Pratchett novel.  “But we consider that a derogatory term.  It conjures up images of shambling, mindless creatures in search of brains.  We prefer the term differently alive.”

Here’s a short part of a news clip about the Texas construction “zombie” hackers we reported about a few weeks ago. Slightly old news, but still fun…

A construction detour sign in Texas was hacked last week to read “Zombies Ahead”. Classic. The full artcile is at G4.

Netflix, Xbox Live & streaming video; with their powers combined,
I’d like to present to you, my zombie-loving friends, “AWESOMELY AWFUL ZOMBIE CINEMA!”
Each month I want to share with you a diamond in the rough (a rough pile of dook). A zombie movie that you may have not seen or maybe forgot after you watched it in order to save what was left of your apocalypse fighting prowess. I want you to experience the same bewilderment, befuddlement and the unbelievably mind-blowing, enjoyment that I get viewing such an awesomely awful zombie film.

On with the show.
I have to compose myself to find the words to describe our first film.
Okay. I’m ready.

INSANE IN THE BRAIN
Description from Netflix:
“An army of lascivious zombies is awakened by the pheromones coming from a nearby brothel. When word of the new brain-eating clientele reaches police headquarters, Goldie (Rhynell Brumfield) and Sloan (John W. Sloan), two pimped-out cops, are sent in to take care of business. A cross between Night of the Living Dead and Dolemite, this campy neo-exploitation flick is written, directed and edited by Chad Hendricks.”

The only things I can share with you have to be conveyed using single words and/or phrases followed by a period.

Wal-mart Afros. My nephew’s Halloween costume. Royalty-free music loops.

Zombie boners.
You read me correctly. Zombies who have BONERS. Who could refuse taking a peek at this!?
I could not make this movie up even after being held captive in a cave by the Wolfman while on a 48 hour coke binge.
It gets better…
This was their SECOND FILM! I added their first film, “Kracker Jack’d,” to the top of my Netflix Instant queue; a crazy white guy with a chainsaw…in the hood. I applaud Netflix for their shear magnitude of selection and giving a film like Insane in the Brain, a chance to find it’s audience.
I found the trailer on YouTube.
Insane in the Brain – Extended Trailer
Watch this movie. It is streaming live on Netflix or you can get the DVD with snail mail.

Comment and lemme know what YOU think.
