OverviewShowcasing the genius of Max Brooks, these stories include humans getting their payback and 'closure' assassinating their former zombie attackers, and a vampire with nothing left to drink as the zombies wipe out his human blood supply. Praise for Max Brooks: 'This is an absolute must have, not only for fans of the zombie genre, but also for fans of that most curious of literary beasts, the non-fiction fiction. Brooks infuses his writing with such precise detail and authenticity, one wonders if he knows something we don't.' Simon Pegg 'So meticulous and well researched that it's more scary than funny.

Language: English Table of ContentsReviewsBrooks infuses his writing with such precise detail and authenticity, one wonders if he knows something we don't. -- Simon Pegg When the zombie apocalypse arrives, we ll be at Max Brooks house ... As a horror story, its exciting. As a parable, it s terrifying. * Empire Magazine [on World War Z] * Closure, Limited is a welcome continuation to the world that Max Brooks created, and subsequently destroyed, in his previous fictional outings. Unlike so many current zombie authors, Brooks writes with an intelligence and poise that elevates his work above the rest of the genre. Brooks shows incredible knowledge of a wide variety of topics, including geography, military procedures and socio-political factors, throughout his work. The level of care and detail he puts into settings and characters make for stories that are nothing short of compelling and, perhaps even better, are entirely convincing. If George A. Romero is revered as the king of zombie films then Max Brooks must surely be dubbed the king of zombie fiction. * This Is Horror * 'This is an absolute must have, not only for fans of the zombie genre, but also for fans of that most curious of literary beasts, the non-fiction fiction.
