Z is for Zombie: An Illustrated Guide to the End of the World / Adam-Troy Castro / 52 pgs / Zombie Challenge
Yes, I read this for the points. It's a very quick alphabet book that would make for a cool Christmas gag gift. The illustrations are funny and gross; (for example there is a picture of a Zombie eating brains from a skull) and each letter entry somehow relate back to Zombies. My favorite letter is "J" for "Just a few Random Survivors" as the essay talks about how in most stories the protagonist ends up with a group of survivors who all have awesome skills and special training like a 'super special black ops CIA agent' or a 'Rambo-esque killing machine'; but in reality you'll probably end up with "a mobile phone salesman, a zither player, a sommelier, and a guy who knows the world is ending but still can't stop talking about his favorite Star Trek episode".
