- Biografía breve
- Mark Clodi (born March 30th, 1969) is the author of many zombie apocalypse novels and short stories. At an early age Mark was hooked on fantasy and the pulp fiction of the 'Golden Age of Science Fiction'. While moving around the mid-west with his parents he continued to feed his frenzied reading by buying fiction at yard sales and utilizing the local libraries. The thought of actually becoming a writer struck him at an early age, but he never followed through on his dream until he was much older and 'settled in' to a career as a computer programmer. His writing started one day while trading emails back and forth with Mike Keleman, the co-author of his first book. They started assigning chapter numbers to the emails and the rest, as they say, is history.
He lives in a small town in Iowa in the United States with his wife, two daughters, two dogs, two cats and two hermit crabs. On any given Saturday night no matter what the temperature, so long as it is not raining or snowing, you can find him on the rough 'man-deck' behind his house grilling ribs, reading and listening to the radio by the light of a kerosene lantern and a tiki torch.

If you are not familiar with the Zombie Chronicles, the blurb for the series says...
"The ‘Zombie Chronicles’ universe, where the zombies don’t stay mindless, shambling adversaries. Instead they grow smarter, faster and stronger as they feed on the flesh of the living."
...and to that statement I would add, "And where zombie-fighting humans begin to suspect that they, too, are changing as they struggle to survive in this bleak world."
Author Mark Clodi distinguished The Zombie Chronicles by coming up with the very novel idea that Romero-type zombies could learn and grow as they feed. The human survivors in the Zombie Chronicles world therefore have to content with both types of zombies as they try to survive. This makes for some great stories.
Undead Advantage centers upon Hank and Juan, and their efforts to build a safe haven.… (más)

Collapse, Tales of the Zombie Chronicles, is an anthology of short stories highlighting individuals and their response to the collapse of the world as we know it. Contender, the final story in the book, is my favorite (and I think the best) of all of Mark Clodi's Zombie Chronicles stories. It centers around a young boy, Hon, who somehow manages to survive the zombies, and despite great loss, begins to care about the tough Southern men who have taken him in. Gorgeous, evocative story, and I hope that the author will tell us more about Hon's life.

Author Mark Clodi distinguished The Zombie Chronicles by coming up with the very novel idea that Romero-type zombies could learn and grow as they feed. The human survivors in the Zombie Chronicles world therefore have to content with both types of zombies as they try to survive.
The first three Zombie Chronicles books center upon Max, his best friend Bill, a cop Jane Steward, and a great supporting cast of minor characters -- both human and zombie. Interesting questions are raised: Can a thinking zombie still care about humanity? Could zombie and human work together to overcome the common evil? What qualifies as humanity? There are some grammatical mistakes in the series, particularly in the first book, but for me those faded in significance as I was caught up in the unique "smart zombies" premise, the multidimensional characters (it was particularly interesting to see the world through the eyes of the smart zombies), and the action as Max and friends try to stay alive.
In book three, Ascension, Max & Co. decide to take on Sentry himself.… (más)

Yeah, I kept wincing every time anybody got chomped upon but then that's what I do whenever I watch a zombie flick or even serial killer movies.
I get that zombies able to use reason may put off some zombie fans but I found the idea scary as hell and interesting.
Jimbo was really really smart and he was the one to watch out for, instead of Nancy.
Hope like hell that Nancy's "dead" for good and can't wait to read the next book in the series.
