Zombies, zombies everywhere, but what are they to eat? According to J.D. McGhoul (with the help of former MAD-TV star Pat Kilbane) Brains of course! With the continual growth of zombies in popular culture, The Brain-Eater's Bible takes position on the opposite side of the fence and tells the story from the zombie point of view.

This well crafted, full-color hardcover "Guide" to understanding your place as a smart zombie in the new brain-eater infested post-apocalyptic world is actually a tie in with an interactive mobile-application app that features all the pictures, journal and breakdown of the book, as well as videos and interactive 3D model of the human skull (and best places to access the brain), animated schematics, commentary and visuals of the zombie virus attacking human cells.

The book itself is a must if you're a zombie-phile or looking to become one of the undead, provided you're lucky enough to retain most of your cognitive functions. It tells the story of a lab tech named J.D. who, having become infected with the PACE virus, embraces his zombiness and creates this literature to help others of his kind in the coming war between mankind and zombie.

The reader gets the low-down on zombie physiology, tactics for catching living humans, or "freshies" as McGhoul refers to them, the different kinds of weapons out there and how to defend against them, and a rather graphic and eerily well-thought out description of the human brain, its different parts and how they taste.

Told very tongue-in-cheek, the book features many fun color photographs, make up by Star Trek: DS9 effects expert Dean C. Jones and humorous asides on zombie "culture" as well as advice and anecdotes from McGhoul. It's a fun read and a fine looking collector's piece for any zombie fan.
