“The Zombie Handbook is a must-have for anyone who wants to make it home alive.” —Jonathan Maberry, author of Patient Zero

Thoroughly illustrated, this book is the definitive guide to zombies and all their blood-soaked traits, from feeding habits and dietary needs to sexual practices and political activities.

•Zombie-proofing your home •Setting lures and traps •Choosing the best weapons •Exploding their brains

The Original Zombieportraits artist, Rob Sacchetto and author, illustrator of The Zombie Handbook: How to Identify the Living Dead and Survive the Coming Zombie Apocalypse, continues his quest to zombify the world, one painting at a time. With over 900 original paintings already sold worldwide, he continues to spread his virus with this latest compilation, Zombiewood: The Celebrity Undead Exposed.
When not working on portraits and books, Rob spends his time drawing content for his blog www.zombiedaily.com and working on a line of zombie related products.
We are once again presented with another handbook about zombies, this time presented by noted zombie artist Rob Sacchetto. Full of colorful if not disgusting illustration, this zombie handbook goes over topics of how to identify the living dead and provides tips for surviving the forthcoming zombie apocalypse. Learn about the seven different types of zombies, the most docile being the apathetic zombie which is often found in parents' basements attached by wires to a television/game console with scattered cheesy debris surrounding them. Tell the difference between a zombie and a super-model or a mummy, learn about zombie diet (brains), zombie sex (really?!), and effective weapons.
All-in-all, far inferior to the acclaimed Max Brooks' The Zombie Survival Guide of which all zombie books will inevitably be compared. However, the artwork is worth the price and is still a welcome addition to your survivalist handbooks.
This book is pathetic, disgusting and immature. And boy did I love it! I'm not fully on board with the whole zombie fetish thing that is sweeping America but I still love an occasional detour into the land of the undead as much as the next guy. All I ask is that I be given quality stuff. And The Zombie Handbook clears the bar.
Rob Sacchetto nailed it with this book. The artwork is top-notch, very nicely done. But what makes this book a winner is the tone. It's serious enough to interest people over the age of 12 and yet just silly enough to not be annoying. The text is light as there is a ton of art and the book is only 111 pages long, but Sacchetto covers a lot of ground, nonetheless.
In my opinion this book has too much blood and violence for children, but it's great fun for the rest of us (or at least those of us who don't take ourselves too seriously and think we're too good to read up on zombie digestion, mating habits, religion, and so on.) By the way, I loved the "zombie food pyramid" and the chart detailing the differences and similarities between zombies and supermodels.
Yeah, I'm a grownup but not so much that I couldn't enjoy this fine contribution to zombie lore by a talented writer/artist.
--Guy P. Harrison, author of:
Race and Reality: What Everyone Should Know About Our Biological Diversity
Amazing! Funny! This little book is definetely a keeper for all Zombie afficionados everywhere. I'd tell the world if I could quit laughing long enough. Five stars are not enough.
