The Official Zombie Handbook UK

[seantpage]

Hey All,

I wanted to let you all know that I have just published the Official Zombie Handbook UK through Severed Press & I hope it will be something of interest to the forum.

I read with interest the comments here on the Zombie Survival Guide - mine is a different take - more survival, less comic, more content-driven. Also, focus is mainly on a disaster in the UK..

I have looked at developing a 90-Day Survival Plan for the average person but the plan will work just as well in any country which has few fire arms or large urban environments. It includes water, food, energy etc...quite heavy on the survvial information - storage times etc

It's taken nearly 3 years of research looking at everything from London's emergency plans to the price of the used whaler...everything set against the background of an outbreak of the living dead.

I cover all of the home fortification & weapons stuff as well as some of the lesser cover topics such guidelines for those with disabilities or being caught abroad during a zombie outbreak.

If you are into survival horror then it should be right up your street.

Enough of the blurb - here are the links for reviews which should give you a flavour of the book :-

Evening All,

If you wanna to shout abuse at the living dead then please stop by the ministry of zombies facebook page.

Shit, that sounds like real spam - well, we won't ask you to send your bank details & pin number to Nigeria but be nice to see you anyway.

I like the take on Vitruvian Man on the cover.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely check out some reviews of the book.

Are you getting much push back from your readership or fans of the genre due to the somewhat superficial similarities with The Zombie Survival Guide?

[seantpage]

Not too much - I loved the ZSG like most people & would never knock it. If I'm honest - the main differences are mine is much more survival info focused - some might find that boring - some might like the detail.....Also, I don't cover guns. It is based on the UK but works just as well in any urban environment.

There are some real copy ZSG guides out there but I think readers in this genre will soon sniff them out - our readers know what they want & you can't fob them off....I think like any subject, you must add to the knowledge not just take a section & repeat it..

Hey All,

My book The Official Zombie Handbook UK was released back in August this year & has done really well in the UK, reaching No1 in its category on Amazon and going well in the US.

So, I just wanted to stop by & say thanks for the support from the forum. As an author with a small independent publisher, we pretty much do everything ourselves, with no advertising budget or links into big stores. The book has got where it is by zombie-fan power…

Anyway, I appreciate all the encouragement and of course you can pick up a copy on Amazon if you want to.

However, I’m also here to put a call out for any zombie short stories, as I’m starting to post new authors up on the website www.ministryofzombies.com. The story of course remains your property but it might be good exposure – I have a few folks already sending in ongoing stories.

Don’t worry if you haven’t done it before, think you can’t write or spell – this the place for zombie fan stories – just send it in to seantpage@ministryofzombies.com

Thanks again.
