Here comes the Zombies

There has been a lot of buzz lately surrounding different activities involving everyone’s favorite undead creatures, zombies.  For example, NPR recently did a story on runners who gain motivation from the walking undead through fun runs and a running app featuring different story-like episodes.  Similarly, zombies have made a resurgence in the visual realm with the hit AMC television series, The walking dead, based upon the graphic novels written by Robert Kirkman.  With October coming up it may be the time to get in the mood for Halloween and what better way than with Zombie themed books and movies?  We hope that these titles will get you thinking about your survival skills in the case you find yourself confronted with the zombie apocalypse.
