Undead Zombie Book Review, "The Scourge"


Here is a great little Undead Middle Ages Holy Grail Questing tale:
By AL Peevey
Zombies are pretty popular right now, and this serial has a unique setting to the genre: the Middle Ages and plague-ridden England. I haven't read any zombie-lit before, but I was intrigued by this chivalrous mix of dead folks who aren't really dead and knights who are not anxious to join them. I have used the word 'zombie'; however, Mr. Calas does not use it. After all, these are just plague victims on a new diet plan.

Basically, Sir Edward wants to reunite with his wife in Northern England, so he talks fellow knights, Sir Tristan and Sir Morgan, into helping him slash, gash, and viciously trash any plague "afflicted" who get in their way or just stumble into their path. Besides zombie-types, Sir Edward and his companions encounter other knights with agendas not coinciding with the trio's own, an invading French army, and an entrepreneur with the beyond disgusting audacity to use zombie women as prostitutes. The results of such unthinkable congress are disastrous!

Mr. Calas has given us, in installments, a raunchy, blood-splattered tale seasoned with expletives as well as other bodily fluids. He has also done his research well, sandwiching in historical notes between each chapter. They add authenticity to this nausea-inducing story. Yeah, I know. Nobody made me read it, and since there's at least one more installment left, I will finish it because I just have to know: Does Sir Edward ever get to his wife? Will it be the homecoming he longs for?

If this is your kind of reading, it should satisfy that undead appetite of yours!

'The Walking Dead' season 4: Robert Kirkman discusses what's ahead

In the closing moments of ‘Welcome to the Tombs,’ we saw as Rick welcomed not only Tyreese and Sasha into the fold, but he also brought the people of Woodbury to the prison. There have been questions circulating as to why the decision was made to stay in the prison, rather than the relatively normal confines of Woodbury, but Kirkman says the continued threat of the Governor makes the prison the more sensible choice for Rick and the others.

Printable AR-15 Website Seized by US DOJ?

Feds Seize 3-D Printed Gun Website:
Did Homeland Security Investigations and the Justice Department take down Cody Wilson's website?
“This domain name associated with the website DefenseDistributed.com or Defcad.org has been seized pursuant to an order issued by a U.S. District Court,” the home page of the website states.
Defense Distributed is on open source organization that designed the Wiki Weapon, a firearm that can be downloaded over the internet and printed with a 3-D printer. The project was co-founded by University of Texas law student Cody Wilson “and a group of like-minded friends with strong libertarian leanings – a mix of Ron Paul fans, hunting enthusiasts, and tech-savvy revolutionaries who see the availability of a “printable gun” as potentially upending power structures across the globe,” PCMag.com reported last August.

101: "This Sorrowful Life" (S3E15):
94988.281x308
It was great to finally talk with Dallas Roberts, a.k.a. our favorite socially awkward zombie apologist/scientist Milton Mamet. You guys know I've been so impressed with Dallas' line readings, and I was excited to hear his approach to dialog. Plus, learn whether it was Milton who torched the biters in the screamer pit, what Dallas thinks Milton's relationship with the Governor was pre-apocalypse and much more.
But first, hear my and Karen's reactions to this week's episode. Maybe a little more disagreement between us than usual. One thing's for sure, we'll miss Michael Rooker and we're stoked for
TWD-Episode-315-Main-590next week's episode. Some great calls and emails from you guys this episode too, and more.
Finally, we've got 575 ratings and reviews in iTunes (THANK YOU!) and we're going for 600 before next week's season finale.
