In the spirit of Halloween I thought I’d do an article on a book that was recommended to me, and not just for the comedic relief mind you.  Supposedly it contains valuable and logical knowledge in terms of survival. The book is called, “Zompoc: How To Survive A Zombie Apocolypse”. While I haven’t read the book as of yet, I hear great things. What does Zompoc mean? It’s an amalgamation of the words ZOM-bie and a-POC-a-lypse.

     Having read a few reviews I can give you a short overview of what the book contains.  Written by Michael and Nick Thomas, the book is 300 pages long and fully illustrated with over 200 individual peices of artwork.  while this book not only teaches you about the different types of zombies, how to combat them and what weapons to use, it also teaches survival skills that can be pertinent in any number of real life disasters or apocalyptic scenarios.

     According to it’s official product review; “All subjects from zombie identification, first-aid, escape techniques, household defense, combat techniques, raiding/bartering supplies, vehicle modification, weapons and convoy structure are all covered in great detail.” As if that wasn’t enough entertaining and useful information, they also teach you how to form your own communityand survive  in a post-apocalyptic world and eventually how to rebuild your society.

     Since the chapters written by topic, it’s a book you can pick up and set down to be used as a point of reference, but I have the feeling once you start it you will want to finish it. Besides the artwork, the coverage of all the different species of zombies and how to overcome them, the useful real life survival strategy that’s been thrown in and the logical chapter layouts, this book is not without it’s humor as well. So if you’re looking for an entertaining AND useful read for the Halloween season, don’t hesitate to pick this book up.  Besides, who else is going to teach you to survive the great zombie apocalypse of the 21st century?
