The ZOMBIE’S Survival Guide: Thrive In The Zombie Apocalypse After You Turn… The Guide For The Other Side!!!

Love Bites. Hate Eats… The “Zombie” Apocalypse is coming. It’s not “if” it’s “when”, and if you think you are going to be one of the brave survivors you see in the movies and video games or read about in books and graphic novels you are sadly mistaken.

You know who I mean, the handsome and tough hero who was a Navy Seal that women love and men want to be. Or the beautiful, big breasted, brilliant heroine with a PhD in “Science”. You aren’t even the wisecracking sidekick who lives to defend the heroes. You are a regular person, an everyman. Just as I was before I created this fully illustrated guidebook. So face it, the odds are in favor of you becoming one of the undead. A ghoul. A Dead. A “Zombie”.

But don’t worry, there is hope. There are ways for you to “live” a very rewarding “life” after you turn. How long, well that depends. But you might as well enjoy it while you can. Sure, it’s not as cool as being a vampire. They get the late nights partying, looking like the heroes I mentioned above, the cool clothes, and getting to sleep all day. No, you will be a staggering, oozing, puss-filled mess.

But how can you fight Healthies armed with weapons that can be anything from a boy with a screwdriver to a soldier with an automatic rifle? You will not only have physical limitations but you will also be stupid, right? Wrong. Many “zombies” retain much of their intelligence after they turn. The ones that are out in the open and shuffling toward people who have guns or other weapons are the dumb ones. The ones that weren’t prepared. The smart ones know what to do. They go unnoticed. They wait for their chance to attack. They plot. But if the “Zombie Apocalypse” is coming and hasn’t happened yet, how do I know all of this?

Because it has already started. It just hasn’t reached you yet, or maybe you’re not aware. The mind can play tricks.

Review of Het Madden, A Zombie Perspective

Calvin A. L. Miller  II

Het Madden, A Zombie Perspective
ISBN: 9780615308777
Zilyon Publishing

Suddenly realizing that he’s become something less than what he was, Hetfield Madden struggles to come to grips with his new reality. The biggest challenge confronting this transition? Accepting the fact that he is now a zombie. Rather than merely the mindless, gruesome monsters so often depicted in movies, Hetfield and his fellow zombie ilk view themselves as infected outcasts burdened by a sickness from which they can’t seem to heal. Compounding their troubles is the fact that the government and society at-large have completely rejected them, preferring to herd them into internment camps than help them recover their humanity. In light of the omnipresent adversity confronting him, Hetfield is forced to undergo considerable spiritual reflection if he ever hopes to regain everything he’s ever cared about…

Taut and gripping, Het Madden, A Zombie Perspective is a fast-paced, compelling read. In it, author Calvin A. L. Miller II presents the age-old doomsday scenario of a post-apocalyptic world – only he tells it from the perspective of the unfortunate diseased masses. In so doing, he inspires a considerable amount of empathy in the reader, inviting him/her to consider just how it would feel to be afflicted by such a horrendous twist of fate. Furthermore, bolstered by a host of spiritual, religious, and political undertones, Het Madden offers considerably profound, thought-provoking commentary on our societal folkways and mores, bringing readers face-to-face with the not-so-subtle prejudice and hypocritical leanings that tend to taint even the slightest of our everyday decisions.

A thoroughly enlightening and entertaining read, Het Madden, A Zombie Perspective is a bona fide literary treat. Definitely not for the faint of heart or mind.

Available on Amazon, CreateSpace, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Lulu, and Indiependent Books in paperback and all eFormats for Kindle, Nook, iPad, PC, and everything else.

Calvin A. L. Miller II

I am a lifelong Horror/Zombie/SciFi nut.  I saw The Exorcist when I was 11 or 12 and was hooked.  Then I saw Night of the Living Dead, which I liked, but it was the original Dawn of the Dead that hooked me on Zombies.  The idea that the dead were coming back and eating the living… that is what really makes it horrifying.

Dracula  left those two neat little holes in your neck, The Wolfman tore you to pieces, Frankenstein strangled you…  All things regular murderers could do.  Zombies eat you.  And they might be your parents.  There it is.

JZ Murdock currently lives and writes from his home in Suquamish, Washington, nine and a half miles across the waters of the Puget Sound from Seattle. Located on several forested acres in the Pacific Northwest’s incredibly beautiful Olympic Peninsula, there is definitely something magical about this area that evokes creativity. He has two children; cool by almost anyone’s scale, who are recently adults and living and traveling on their own.

Lately he has been concentrating mostly on screenplays, but he has had several short stories published recently in anthologies and has turned his attention to seeing more of his prose into the public eye.

He has had training in a wide variety of disciplines including guitar, firearms, search and rescue, and Martial Arts where he studied Isshinryu Karate under the late, great Steve Armstrong Sensei. He began studying Aikido in college which has become his preferred Martial Art and way of life; along with the Buddha Dharma (Buddhism). He is currently on the Board of Directors for “the” non-profit, local Aikido dojo in his area.
