Everything you ever wanted to know about zombies free download

This book could be used as a text book for a zombie themed university class. Cudos to the author. Mogk not only turns to science, he also cites historical and sociological precedence.

The book was even sharp enough to earn a nomination this month as a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award for Nonfiction.
