The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brookes is a detailed fictional instruction manual. It's sequel is World War Z which is closer to a normal book, but still has an odd structure of creating a world through interviews ... and the The Zombie Survival Guide book exists within it.
WWZ is a banger!
It is at that :-)
Thanks for the suggestion. Should I read WWZ first?
As with so much in life, it's best to read the manual first. It can get a little dry in places though, like any instruction manual, but I enjoyed all of it because I'm the sort of person who likes normal manuals, lol
The WWZ audiobook is really solid.
Did they get different people to record each story?
Yup! Alan Alda and Henry Rollins are the only 2 I can remember off the top of my head. Get the expanded version - the original was abridged, but the new one has all the content.
Oh fab, I'll keep an eye out for it. It's one of my favorite books :-)
WWZ is one of my all time favorite books. They should really make it into a movie. Or, even better, an HBO miniseries.
I dunno, I think maybe some things should just be left alone
