Feel Good Friday: Zombies Ate Her Brain
I’m digging The Creepshow quite a bit. Something about their combination of rockabilly, doo-wop backing vocals, horror movie imagery, and general awesomeness is hitting all my spots. It’s Halloween 24/7/365 here at SB for you new kids on the block.
I’ve been on a serious horror kick lately anyway. I’ve reread The Rising and City of the Dead, and I picked up Dead Sea and The Conqueror Worms (all by Brian Keene, the best new horror writer around). I’ve also reread some of my collected issues of The Walking Dead from Image Comics/Robert Kirkman and David Wellington’s Monster Island (which you can read free online but don’t be cheap; buy a copy because this kind of thing needs to be encouraged).
All of these save The Conqueror Worms are zombie novels. The Conqueror Worms involves a world-ending flood, giant monsters, and (of course) worms. Hence the second song (also from The Creepshow).
These are fun. Lots of fun :-)
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I do my best!
I like the music a lot.
Are those books graphic novels? I’ve been looking for a new genre of book to read, rather than the predictable, cookie cutter ending type story I always seem to find, but I’m not sure I could soak in a graphic novel quite as well. (And it’s three a.m. if this comment makes no sense at all. Maybe I should come back tomorrow….er….later today.)
The Walking Dead is the graphic novels. The others are all books.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Very cool! Nice…
Thanks, bw!
