💬 zombies… would you survive them?

Absolutely not. Especially if they run fast?! I’m absolutely OUT! Goodbye, don’t pass go. I’m out. ✌️ I’m moving around content this week as I already had this week’s “if you like this horror movie, read these books”, but I’m still working on Scream for Romance and Thrills & Chills. Those will come the next 2 days (unless something comes up and I don’t have time to post).

But this week I decided to focus on an OG zombie movie, The Night of the Living Dead!!! This is what kick started what will become a huge focus for so much media down the road - moreso in the last 2 decades I would say with franchises like The Walking Dead and The Last of Us.

Now, some of these recommendations, you gotta stretch it a little. Some are a little push from zombies, they may not be ACTUAL zombies. 🤭

Very cool to spot @kcottcan’s THIS DELICIOUS DEATH in @people! Can confirm that Kayla’s sapphic comedy-horror pairs perfectly with this zombie classic. #literaryagent #peoplemagazine #thisdeliciousdeath #kaylacottingham #yabook

This Delicious Death
By Kayla Cottingham

This was such an interesting story. I loved the pining for sure between the friends. Also the hallowing was a mind blowing idea!
