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

I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them.

You assume things, like whatever country has more firepower wins the wars, and that's actually not true at all.
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.

Zombies have no memories of their former life. You wont see the undead trying to wash windows or do your taxes. All they know how to do is swarm and feed.

Whatever bro, tell it to the whales

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.

Secrecy is a vacuum and nothing fills a vacuum like paranoid speculation.

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

Can you ever “solve” poverty? Can you ever “solve” crime? Can you ever “solve” disease, unemployment, war, or any other societal herpes? Hell no.

When I believe in my ability to do something, there is no such word as no.

After all we'd been through, we still couldn't take our heads from out of our asses or our hands from around each other's throats.
Max Brooks

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.

Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.
Max Brooks
Image
Looking back, I still can't believe how unprofessional the news media was. So much spin, so few hard facts. All those digestible sound bites from an army of 'experts' all contradicting one another, all trying to seem more 'shocking' and 'in-depth' than the last one. It was all so confusing, nobody seemed to know what to do.

They say great times make great men. I don't buy it. I saw a lot of weakness, a lot of filth. People who should have risen to the challenge and either couldn't or wouldn't. Greed, fear, stupidity and hate. I saw it before the war, I see it today. [...] I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them.

Generation Z, they cleaned up their own mess.

You can't blame anyone else, ... , no one but yourself. You have to make your own choices and live every agonizing day with the consequences of those choices.

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

I actually wrote my first zombie book way before I got the job on 'Saturday Night Live.
