Braaaaains!
Anyone wanting a cracking good read should take a look at this. As a piece of literature it's great. As a free internet novel, it's freakin' amazing! Much better than that Owen Wilson fan fiction I stumbled across a few weeks ago.
One commentator has written, about the zombie genre as a whole, that it plays upon our fears of our individuality being lost. In an age that worships the concept of the individual, zombies are the ultimate collective monster. A single zombie is no different to any other, and, by itself, represents almost no threat whatsoever. It's easy to outrun, easier to outwit, and comparatively simple to kill. Zombies only take on their horrific aspect when they are massed, becoming an inexorable tide that overcomes barriers through sheer force of numbers.
Of course once they overwhelm you, all of your high ideals and unique thoughts will be wiped out instantly and completely, but you, in your most basic, wretched form, will carry on, deleriously eager to do something that would have sickened your living self. Becoming a zombie is the ultimate act of betrayal.

Oh man Owen Wilson fan fiction, my weekend is complete. I hope they have the one where he rolls a hooker over on her ass and proceeds to meticulously lick her buttocks for 2 hours.

My God - are you thinking of joining the public service?
