Generation Z, they cleaned up their own mess.
Max Brooks

Hooking on scuba gear and blindly diving into zombie-infested water is a wonderful way to mix the two childhood terrors of being eaten and drowning.
Max Brooks
Image
There comes a point when you have to realize that the sum of all your blood, sweat, and tears will ultimately amount to zero.
Max Brooks

...because I'm sure that as soon as things really get back to normal, once our kids or grandkids grow up in a peaceful and comfortable world, they'll probably go right back to being as selfish and narrow-minded and generally shitty to one another as we were.

I actually wrote my first zombie book way before I got the job on 'Saturday Night Live.
Max Brooks
Image
I wrote 'The Zombie Survival Guide' because I wanted to read it, and nobody else was writing it. All I've been doing with everything I've written is answering questions that I had.

Remember no matter how desperate the situation seems, time spent thinking clearly is never time wasted.

With so much protection, wouldn't one be able to wander among the undead ranks, taunting them at will with no danger of repercussion?

They were viewed very much like castles, I suppose: as crumbling, obsolete relics, with no real modern function other than as tourist attractions. But when the skies darkened and the nation called, both reawoke to the meaning of their existence. One shielded our bodies, the other, our souls.

. . . show the other side, the one that gets people out of bed the next morning, makes them scratch and scrape and fight for their lives because someone is telling them that they're going to be okay.

Zombies will try to scale any surface no matter how unfeasable or even impossible. In all but the easiest situations, these attempts have met with failure. Even in the case of ladders, when simple hand-over-hand coordination is required, only one in four zombies will succeed.

Zombies let us explore notions of the apocalypse - no water, food, medical care, the government imploding - while letting us sleep at night.
Max Brooks

That's the thing about zombies. They don't adapt and they don't think. Literally, you could have a zombie on one side of a chain link fence and you could be on the other side and they could be trying to get to you and six feet down could be an open door and they will not go through that door in the fence. That's why they're so scary.

Americans worship technology. It's an inherent trait in the national zeitgeist.

You can watch 'Dawn of the Dead' and still sleep at night. Try that with 'The Day After'.

Zombie books were going to be my passion projects, but certainly not pay the bills. I thought I was going to have to get a real job on a sitcom or something, and have my zombie books to remind myself I was still a writer at heart. I never thought I could actually pay my bills and write what I wanted.

Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.

But no matter what happens to the surviving humans, there will always be the walking dead.
