About this ebook

As the walking dead rise up throughout the world, a few brave doctors attempt to find a cure by applying forensic techniques to captured zombies.

On a remote island a crack medical team has been sent to explore a radical theory that could uncover a cure for the epidemic. Based on the team's research and the observations of renowned zombie expert Dr. Stanley Blum, The Zombie Autopsies documents for the first time the unique biology of zombie organisms.

Detailed drawings of the internal organs of actual zombies provide an accurate anatomy of these horrifying creatures. Zombie brains, hearts, lungs, skin, and digestive system are shown, while Dr. Blum's notes reveal shocking insights into how they function--even as Blum and his colleagues themselves begin to succumb to the plague.

No one knows the ultimate fate of Dr. Blum or his researchers. But now that his notebook, The Zombie Autopsies, has been made available to the UN, the World Health Organization, and the general public, his scientific discoveries may be the last hope for humans on earth. "Humanity has a new weapon against the living dead and that weapon is Steven Schlozman!" -- New York Times bestselling author Max Brooks

"I've written and made films about zombies for over forty years. In all that time, I've never been able to convince my audience that zombies actually exist. On page one of The Zombie Autopsies, Steven Schlozman takes away any doubt. This fast-moving, entertaining work will have you chuckling...and worrying." -- George A. Romero, director of Night of the Living Dead

--Chuck Palahniuk, New York Times bestselling author of Fight Club

Ratings and reviews

i hate to give it one star. i loved the ideal, but they drag you into the story then just end. Literally right as they start to pick up, they stop. It is a slow long read for a short book. That's why i wouldn't recommend. just as you think great i hung in and now i get some answers, DONE. book ends. I feel like the author didn't know how to tie the pieces together so end the book.This is just being picky, but the art is neat because I'm a zombie freak, but these are supposed to be drawings from a person who is supposed to be an anatomy illustrator expert. They look like a second rate artist drew them. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME

Hard to find a book like this these days.

A new and creative approach to zombies.
