Screen Shot 2016-05-26 at 11.00.46Maybe you don’t love the Walking Dead, but millions of people do. The question is, why? I’ve just had a new piece published on this topic by CWR magazine. I get into why we love zombies as well as why we’re drawn continually to the post-apocalyptic settings in which such stories take place You can read the article for free here.

BTW, I just stumbled across this piece on the Walking Dead that I wrote for the Huffington Post a while back.
