For the Love of Zombies: Guest post by S.G. Browne

Paranormal Wastelands is proud to present - a guest post from the most famous author of Breathers - Mr. S.G. Browne!!

So, put up your bloody axes, drop those chains for just a bit, and come find out why he's just falling to pieces over zombies......... BOO!

I've always been a zombie fan, ever since I saw Romero's original Night of the Living Dead on Creature Features back when I was in sixth grade I’ve been enamored with them. They became my favorite monster. I even used to dream about them chasing me through the streets. Or surrounding my house. Or doing my taxes. And I’ll admit that I enjoy the fast moving zombies as well as the shuffling ones. I’m not a purist. They're both terrifying in their own way.

As for the other classic monsters, they don’t quite hold the same appeal for me as zombies.



Werewolves? They’re like the jocks of the monster world. Full of testosterone, pumped up on steroids, sprouting hair and fangs, howling at the moon, and always trying to be the center of attention. I just can’t take them seriously. Plus no one ever worries about a werewolf apocalypse. I mean, come on…that would be ridiculous.



Vampires? They’re the frat boys of monsters. All pretty and full of themselves and constantly trying to get you into bed. Every move they make, all the posturing they do, is just a smoke screen to lure you in so that they can feed on you. Drink your blood.



They're insincere. Hiding their true motives. Scam artists.



Zombies, on the other hand, don't try to impress you with their good looks or their charms or their ability to burst out of their Lacoste polo shirt every four weeks. They don't pretend to be something they're not. They wear their decomposing hearts on their sleeves and aren't ashamed to say, “I'm a zombie and I want to eat your brains.”

Zombies have an unpretentious veracity. I admire that in a monster. Plus, they're tragically comical, shuffling along, losing their hair and teeth and nails and the occasional appendage. Add the fact that they used to be us, that we could all become them one day, and it creates a sense of empathy that, ultimately, was the reason I wrote Breathers in the first place.
