I really really enjoyed this book (although Survival Guide is still my favourite!). It is written as a collection of historical accounts of zombie encounters from the very early B.C's through to the present day. These accounts are taken from around the world and are written and illustrated with evidence to back up the conclusions drawn with a bit of a summary of the consequences and how the powers that be handled each event. The illustrations are just superb and really capture the grotesque horror of the zombie threat and illustrate the historical aspects brilliantly (so much so you really start to believe it). A great addition to any Max Brooks collection!
