I interviewed Jonathan Maberry recently here. He talks about writing, favorite books, Bram Stoker Awards and Martial arts.A military bio-weapon could be the most dangerous weapon to us all. Maberry takes you back through the turning process to where it all started with the first host. Homer Gibbon was the states most notorious serial killer others watched and saw him be killed via lethal injection or did they?There is death and then life again well kind of, the undead shall walk upon the earthA mortician is going about his daily business. He unzips a body bag and *powie* the stiff opens his eyes, grins and chomps into the unsuspecting mortician. And so begins the zombie apocalypse. The dead guy goes out and kills some more people.

**********THERE BE SPOILERS IN THEM THAR HILLS, DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU********************************************* I really, really enjoyed this book. I'm wrestling with giving it either 4 or 5 stars but I think it pushed itself over into a 5 star rating but not holding many punches. I love zombies, movies and stories. Which kinda means I've oversaturated myself with them over the last couple years. I think I love zombies because the stories are usually more about the survivors fighting
Dead of Night is you basic run-of-the-mill zombie novel, unoriginal and not very memorable. I liked the author's style but zombie books are always the same old, same old.
Dead of Night takes place in a small Pennsylvania town that becomes infested with flesh eating zombies after a notorious serial killer, injected with a serum that would cause his conciousness to stay aware once he was buried, awakes in the local funeral home and starts feasting on the unsuspecting residents.
