Hi all. I really enjoyed A Certain Hunger and also just finished Tender is the Flesh. It’s not my go-to genre so I’m unaware of any classics, but definitely doesn’t need to be one!
Not sure I can rightly call it a “classic,” but I really enjoyed **The Zombie Autopsies** by Stephen Schlossman.
It’s presented as a non-fiction – actually a bundled package sent by the WHO to any remaining world governments in the hopes of pulling out a miracle and finding a cure or vaccine for the zombie apocalypse.
The bulk of the package is the annotated medical journal of a doctor who was sent to an island on a top secret mission to study zombies and try to find a cure. That team is now presumed dead, but they did recover the notebook.
It served the doctor as a medical journal to take notes on research, medical sketchbook as they ran out of power and he had to draw the autopsies as they happened, and a normal diary of a man who sees more horror every day.
The cool hook is that the real author – Schlossman – is himself an MD and trained medical artist (like for the drawings of muscles and skeletons they have in medical textbooks). It makes both the descriptions and drawings pretty authentic and freaky.
