This book is a great representation of a graphic novel, and gives to good horror introduction to any kid who loves reading comic books. It is composed of different stories, all showing zombie-ism and will either terrify or interest any child who reads it.

This book also gives background information before the story even starts on the history of zombies, a quick guide to the undead, and they different types of zombies, which I thought was a cool thing to include.

The illustrations in this book are really cool, and also very creepy and some bloody. It's like watching a zombie movie on a sheet of paper, and I would recommend this book to any child who likes horror and gore, Halloween, or being scared.

Zombies by rob shone is a highly recommended book for students who are into fiction and graphic novels.Zombies consists of small series of stories about living dead.This book did not just taught me that zombies are not just dead corpses but vampires and monsters are also considered as zombies.It has a brief details on history of zombies.Zombies originated from Haiti by priests who used dark voodoo called "Pedro" to make human slaves.People were kidnapped and were fed this chemical from puffer fish mixed with datura and because of this drug zombies were created.
