Revenant fiction

Just started listening to Stephen King's <i>Cell</i> audio cd narrated by Campbell Scott and I am quickly getting into "all things Zombie" once again.

Some of my favorite Zombie stuff across popular culture:
-Urban Dead (thanks Epoisses)
-Shaun Of the Dead
- That '28 days later' franchise
-Dawn Of The Dead

Eli Roth of <i>Hostel</i> and <i>Grindhouse</i> fake trailer fame is eventually adapting <i>Cell</i> into a film and it looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to go get a storage shed full of drinking water, semi automatic weapons, non perishable food items and barricade the hell out of it...

[lorbering till the end]Shit man, even the humans in <i>Cell</i> got a better reception from the Zombies than the DÜ did in this post. Sigh. FWIW, I am within a few chapters from completion and I have thouroughly enjoyed...[/lorbering till the end]

Don't call it a Lorber! I've been DÜing for years...

I finished <i>Cell</i> this morning. I actually kind of liked the interpretive ending which I will omit from this here post.

Proceed with ignoring / disdaining this thread. Thank you.

Same device he used in "The Mist" years ago.

I guess I profited by not reading that one.

"Skeleton Crew" is awesome. Check it out if you have the time/means.

I remember reading <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton_Crew">Word Processor Of The Gods</a> so the book must've crossed my hands in high school or middle school. The protagonist could add and delete things from existence with the assistance of a weird word processor. Unfortunately, I seem to be having trouble remembering the other stories in this collection by reading their titles on the internet.

Apparently, <a href="http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/08/28/a-zombie-apocalypse-on-a-synagogue-wall/index.html?ex=1345953600&en=3f5cead3754c8ea8&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss">a certain NYC Synagogue likes zombies</a> (or at least the revenue zombie film ads produce for them...)
