A World On Fire – A Zombie Blog

Checking the facebook page today, I saw that A World on Fire has passed its one thousand fan. Wow. I am just blown away. It just goes to show you how beloved our brain eaters really are. Truth be told, I don’t like using the word “fan”. I wished facebook picked a word along the line of “subscriber” or “reader” because the word “fan” sort of implies a one way communication. Although I might not comment on all the stories, I make sure to read every comment that is posted here and I have learned so much from this community as whole. The site actually started as a way to grow a readership for my upcoming book, A World on Fire.  I envisioned it as being a … Read entire article »

If you visit the site through Facebook, you’ll notice that the page is devoid of both posts and comments. I’m guessing someone was doing some database maintenance and somehow deleted the page’s wall. I’ve contacted support multiple times, but being a monster of a website with probably thousands of bug reports per hour, I have no idea when the page will come back. I wish I could say that this is an isolated incident, but Facebook’s quality control is terrible. I look forward to the day when they are no longer associated with this site. Be that as it may, Facebook’s problems are now my problems. So if you are an avid facebooker, hang ten. Hopefully the page will be live soon. … Read entire article »

A lot of flesh eating news happened this past week. Movies, books, videogames … nothing was left untouched by our favorite unstoppable horde of brain eaters. Here’s a recap of this past week’s events. * Zombieland Good reviews made this puppy the top grossing movie of the week. I reviewed on Friday, producing a few fireworks in the process. There was some post Zombieland discussion over here. Don’t read if you haven’t seen the movie. * October Giveaway With “The New Zed Order: SURVIVE” being released, Todd Sprague is graciously giving away a free signed copy of his book. You can read about the contest over here, but if you’d rather pick it up yourself, you can get a copy from Amazon over here. * George Romero George Romero has … Read entire article »

You just can’t keep a good dead guy down. After a week of floating, boating, and jetsking, I have managed to find myself back at home with my thoughts turned back to the undead. It looks like a lot of zombie news went down from my absence. I have new movie reviews, lots of Left 4 Dead news, and well, a game company asked me to play test one of their upcoming zombie games for the Wii. Lots of zombie stories as the week continues. Keep your shotgun loaded and at your side. It’s going to get interesting. … Read entire article »

Things are not going as smoothly as I would like them to go. Tuesday evening, I arrived home to find half of the lights off in the house as well as our phones and internet down. Three days later, we’re still trying to solve the problem. Hopefully regular posts will commence this weekend, but don’t be surprised if the site hasn’t been updated. We’re still working through the problem. If any one has a spare internet connection, feel free to mail it to me in exchange for a delightful thankful :) The good news in all of this is that I have managed to get a lot of reading and writing under the belt :) … Read entire article »

That’s right … the apocalypse only manages to expand on this site. Whereas the last update was all about the decay of rather famous bridges, this update of wallpaper depicts various states of empty cities. A few of the images include a lone person in the frame which only increases the sense of desolation to be found in a world of empty asphalt. I have two more pages of wallpaper to post before I get to posting pictures of the good stuff. … Read entire article »

I’m slowly making progress updating the apocalyptic wallpaper on this site. There’s a lot of images so its taking a little bit of time. This weeks update is really “bridged” theme. There are lots of famous bridges depicted in a imaginary state of decay. My favorite in this collection is an image of the Golden Gate Bridge covered in trees and vegetation. Sections of the bridge have collapsed. The broken edges of the bridge hang over a steel grey bay. A derilict tanker is washed ashore on the far side of the bay. It is also overgrown. Houses dot the landscape but there can be no doubt that the residents are long gone. Welcome to the world of a San … Read entire article »
