How do we know exactly what the zombies are gonna be like if the only time we've seen them is fictionally?!?!?! HOOOOOWWWWWWW!???

Anonymous

Zombie survival literature is most assuredly not fictional.

Have you not seen The Walking Dead? That horse Rick found got torn apart in seconds!

We’re talking about zombies. ‘The Walking Dead’ is - clearly - a work of fiction. Don’t get the two confused.

What if the now zombie was a vegetarian in their alive state? Would they maliciously assault vegetables rather than people?

Don’t be silly. Vegetarian zombies are fictional. Clearly.

Writers, take note!

From the creative mind of @docstodden comes Project Dyszombie:

The project is open to all serious writers who want to contribute to the milieu.  When enough quality content is generated, we will compile the work into a single, standalone volume.  There is a catch:  The dyszombie is NOT the same as your classic Zombie…

The Importance of Flesh Hungry Monsters

The Importance of Flesh Hungry Monsters

              The twigs and leaves were helpless as each footfall hastily stamped its imprint on the soft, dew soaked grass. Each panicked breath poured into the autumn air and filled the silence between each muffled heartbeat. As the vigorous gasping continued, lungs were filled with the stale twilight mist and the stench of old flesh. Death. Dead. Dying. Death. Everyone. No one can be trusted. These were the thoughts that entered, but were not retained. Nothing can be retained while in such a frantic state. Nothing but the instinct to survive. A hallow moan is heard in the distance, followed by another. Stillness falls as rest is taken. Even when one is running for his life, he can only run for so long. Uneasiness now floats lowly with the fog. The sounds of slow scurries and shoes stomping approaches ominously. Disorientation. A cold hand grabs a warm shoulder and tears through the cloth. A set of cracked teeth rips into the exposed flesh. Collapsing to the ground, nothing but a whimper escapes from the lips. As the body lies on the ground, images become blurry, thoughts become fleeting, the ghoul continues to scavenge on the freshly dead corpse.

Short Story: I Am A Zombie Filled With Love

I’m not sure if this has been submitted before, but this is a cute short story written from the perspective of a zombie. I really liked it, and I hope you do too!

- New submission, thanks for unearthing this!  Awesome! -DHP

WARM BODIES is a novel I wrote, loosely based off the short story below, which I also wrote.

The short story, “I Am a Zombie Filled With Love” is NOT an excerpt, demo, sample, or snippet of WARM BODIES.

It is just a short story.

@sywbmsh:

I have my eyes open, my head is on my shoulders, and every other appendage feels as though it’s attached the right way. I have both feet on the correct legs, and all of my fingers are there. I can see out of both eyes, breath out of my nose and moth, and feel pain if I pinch myself.

Fighting a Dyszombie

Anyone ever wonder why zombies need to be morally degenerate rotting corpses?  What would happen if our expectations of zombie behavior is completely wrong?  What would happen if a zombie was actually a morally superior, super healthy automaton bent on wiping out moral deficiencies in those of us who survive?  This re-conceptualization of the zombie is called “Dyszombie”.  How would you fight a dyszombie outbreak, when the very thing that set the dyszombie off are the normal survival tactics and everyone for himself attitude that people adopt in a zombie outbreak?

A philosophical zombie, p-zombie or p-zed is a hypothetical being that is indistinguishable from a normal human being except that it lacks conscious experience, qualia, or sentience. When a zombie is poked with a sharp object, for example, it does not feel any pain. While it behaves exactly as…

That’s some cold, hard, Truff.
