And now back to our regularly scheduled programming…which includes ZRC updates (yes, finally!), Chinese food and watching The Grapes of Death!
Not overly complicated cosplay, but still worth a laugh…Star Wars Death Trooper zombies.
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.
Nothing says happy holidays like a zombie-filled gingerbread house! Holy. Shit. Awesome. See more pictures here. Thanks to the Rue Morgue Abattoir blog for bringing this to the attention of the world.
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.”
