Synopsis
The year is 2011, and what starts as a pervasive and inexplicable illness ends up as a zombie infestation that devastates the world's population, leaving scattered pockets of humans fighting for survival. Taking the form of an illustrated biologist's 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 heading north to Canada, where - he hopes - the undead will be slowed by colder climate. Encountering scattered humans and scores of infected on the way, he fills his notebook with graphic drawings of the zombies and careful observations of their behavior (are the zombies actually learning?), along with terrifying tales of survival. This original new entry to the massively popular zombie resurgence will keep fans on the edge of their seats to the very end. The character's background as a biologist (and amateur birdwatcher) give him the interests and abilities to notice (and draw/paint/record) interesting things about the zombies. The journal is kept in the quiet times at night in shelters between eventful zombie attacks and escapes and run-ins with good and not-so-good human survivors. He also discovers what may be the root cause of the infection in the remains of a shattered laboratory. The title is illustrated page-by-page with detailed gory realistic depictions of zombies and zombie mayhem, with accompanying journal accounts and scientific observations.
