    About this ebook

    Taking the form of a biologist's illustrated journal found in the aftermath of the attack, this pulse-pounding, suspenseful tale of zombie apocalypse follows the narrator as he flees from city to countryside and heads north to Canada, where he hopes the undead will be slowed by the colder climate. Encountering scattered humans and scores of the infected along the way, he fills his notebook with graphic drawings of the zombies and careful observations of their behavior, along with terrifying tales of survival. This frightening new contribution to the massively popular zombie resurgence will keep fans on the edge of their seats right up to the very end.

      There isn't anything terribly new in this art-book slash fictional journal about zombies, but it's a quick, enjoyable read. The illustrations help to add interest to the otherwise standard-fare zombie chronicle, as the reader follows the journey of a lone survivor that struggles to survive the zombie apocalypse and locate other living humans. I do appreciate that Roff attempted to imagine the zombie outbreak a little differently. He avoids a supernatural explanation for the most part, and it is not as simple as a "zombie virus" (which has become a common trope). I enjoyed all of the characters the protagonist comes across and was actually pretty impressed by the character development that occurred within such a small amount of text, but this is a book I think that is easier to appreciate as a novelty. It reminded me of a less self-consciously (and more sparsely) written version of The Zombie Autopsies by Steven C. Schlozman. The "diary style" zombie book seems to be a popular format and it does succeed in adding a more authentic and frightening feeling to a simple horror narrative, but it is very hard to tell a complete story and maintain a level of realism (which I think is why a scientist protagonist is so common in these books -- who else would go into any detail about the odds and ends of a contagion or give diagrams of decomposition and anatomy?)I enjoyed this book and would happily read other books in this format by this author-illustrator team. Zombies is not a groundbreaking or dramatic book but it is a good, fun, classic read for zombie fans and features fully acceptable illustrations and writing.

      This book is all about the art. Fantastic art. The words add story to the art, but it wouldn't be worth reading only for the sake of reading.
