"Dear fellow mortal, Imagine that you re sitting on your sofa leafing through this book, when you feel an odd vibration. Ripples start to shiver across the surface of your teacup. Puzzled, you strain your ears. Then you hear a distant rumbling sound. The noise grows louder. And nearer. The sound is unfamiliar at first, but then you realise what it is. Hoofbeats. Don t go to the window and peer through the curtains. Don t tempt the horsemen of the Apocalypse by showing your face. Doom is no longer far off in the distant future. It could arrive as early as Tuesday morning. There s nothing you can do except read on Yours anxiously, he authors. Remember the good old days, when doom was straightforward? When all we had to worry about where those Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Bible- Pestilence, War, Famine and Death? Well now we have reason to believe that there are more than four horsemen. Many more. In fact, at the last count the authors of The Coffee Table Book of Doom put the estimate at 27 horsemen.

Experience the zombie apocalypse with this illustrated survivor’s journal full of chilling tales of terror. The year is 2012, and what starts as a pervasive and inexplicable illness ends up as a zombie infestation that devastates the world’s population. Taking the form of a biologist’s illustrated journal found in the aftermath of the attack, this pulse-pounding, suspenseful tale of zombie apocalypse follows the narrator as he flees from city to countryside and heads north to Canada, where he hopes the undead will be slowed by the colder climate. Encountering scattered humans and scores of the infected along the way, he fills his notebook with graphic drawings of the zombies and careful observations of their behavior, along with terrifying tales of survival that will keep readers on the edge of their seats right up to the very end. Praise for Zombies “Influenced by Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend, Zombies is a genuinely chilling and logical look at a zombie invasion. The matter-of-fact descriptions of the symptoms and effects, coupled with the detailed drawings of both victims and scenarios make it a creepy read . . . . A tremendous addition to any zombie book collection.” —Sfcrowsnest
