Dead Love: Zombie Auto-...

Some of you ask me: Is the zombie invasion real? It’s a question that, like all good questions, must be answered and answered and answered again. For that I need only rely on the ZIA (Zombie Intelligence Agency) and their constant updates. This from a ZIA member: Zombie Auto-Immunity. You...

Dead Love: CDC and the ...

THIS IS NOT A TEST! Seriously, I mean it. FINALLY the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is addressing the looming zombie apocalypse. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a PR stunt. No, this is the way you get the news out without causing a nationwide panic. The...

Dead Love: The Haight Y...

Yes, we love the Haight. Come to The Booksmith at 1644 Haight Street Tuesday, May 10th, at 7:30pm (tonite) for a gathering of dead-uns and not-so-dead-uns: James J. Patterson, Joanna Biggar, Linda Watanabe McFerrin. Zombies and ghouls welcome. There will be some Dead Love there, and...

Dead Love: Zombie-Proof...

Leave it to the ZIA to suss out the safest place to be during a zombie apocalypse. In this case, undying love and kudos to ZIA member JS for finding a possible hideout from a hungry horde. KWK Promes, a Polish architectural firm, is responsible for the safe house. We can thank architect...

Dead Love: Zombie Dream...

Dead Love: Old Movies N...

Nothing is more uplifting than … zombies. Well, at first they thought it was vampires, but as one ZIA member demonstrated with this link, even Hollywood knows that if you want to enliven dead material, it takes a fresh supernatural twist. Zombies are the key to the vault, so...

Dead Love: The Southern...

So, I am looking for zombies in the marshes here in South Carolina where the Gullah rumors fly about boo hags and haints. The bottle trees do a pretty good job of catching the spirits, according to my friend, Martha. She says if the wind whistles over the bottles, you’ll hear...

Dead Love: Peralta Hous...

Drat. I missed the special costumed tour at the Peralta House when the ghostly daughter of Antonio Peralta led a group of followers through the home she lived in while reflecting on her life and her family’s legacy. That was on Wednesday and it was part of a training for other...

Once more the dark side will get craikin’ on air as Dead Love author Linda Watanabe McFerrin joins Melinda/Lilycat and authors Kevin Wrynn and Debbie Goelz in a chat about things that secretly fascinate and worry folks. From zombies to aliens to tabloids to bitter Norse and...
