The Zombie Survival Guide
''The Zombie Survival Guide'', written by American author Max Brooks and published in 2003, is a survival manual dealing with the fictional potentiality of a zombie attack. It contains detailed plans for the average citizen to survive zombie uprisings of varying intensity and reach, and describes "cases" of zombie outbreaks in history, including an interpretation of Roanoke Colony. ''The Zombie Survival Guide'' was also featured on ''The New York Times'' Best Seller's list.〔("Best Sellers." ). The New York Times, 21 March 2010.〕 Max Brooks got his inspiration to the Zombie Survival Guide from early childhood interest in zombies originating to when he was about 10 and saw his very first zombie movie, ''Revenge of the Zombies'' (1943), and sparked his interest.
==Contents==
The book is divided into six separate chapters, followed by a list of fictional attacks throughout history and an appendix. The first chapter, "The Undead: Myths and Realities", outlines Solanum, a fictional and incurable virus that creates a zombie, along with details on how it is spread (such as through an open wound, or in contact with infected blood or saliva), and treatment of the infected (such as suicide or amputation of the injured limb, though it rarely works). The middle of this chapter explains the abilities and behavioral patterns of the undead and the differences between "voodoo" zombies, movie zombies, and zombies created by Solanum.
In subsequent chapters, the book describes weapons and combat techniques; places of safety; and how to survive a zombie-infested world. In the section describing weapons, Max Brooks talking about the human body states that "If cared for and trained properly, is the greatest weapon on earth". The guide concludes with a fictional list of documented zombie encounters throughout history. The oldest entry is 60,000 BC, in Katanda, Central Africa, although the author expresses doubt about its validity. Instead, he presents evidence from 3,000 B.C. in Ancient Egypt as the first verifiable instance of a zombie outbreak. The most recent entry is 2002, in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Some of these encounters make reference to historical events, such as Roanoke Island.
