'The deadly serious guide to surviving zombies, aliens, robots, werewolves, vampires, and man-eating plants.'

Detailing all the identifiers, escape tactics, combat tips, and essentials in packing your survival kits, How to Survive a Zombie Attack is a crucial guide to all things monster. Illustrated with gory pictures and well-drawn graphics, any 8/10-year-old is sure to love this one.

Here's some highlights:

'Are you at risk?' quiz for many of the monsters.
How to spot a werewolf in human form.
Why a harmonica is effective at keeping Bigfoot at bay.
What are the differences between a parasitic and a brainiac alien?
The benefits of Dragon Blood.

Dive in for a virtual monster encyclopedia. A creature compendium!

4 out of 5 stars.

I received a free ePub through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

How to Survive a Zombie Attack gives you the most basic information about zombies and other monsters. Read this and you just might have a chance at surviving a zombie attack, an alien invasion or maybe even an encounter with a vampire.

I liked the fact that the book is about more than just zombies. All the well-known monsters are described in a clear and understandable way. The amount of information that is given is just right so you can take it all in and remember everything. The artwork is also great. It gives a very retro vibe. I didn't like the photographs that are used at certain points. They didn't really fit with the artwork that is used throughout the book.

This book gives you a good introduction to various kinds of monsters. Little teenage me would have absolutely loved this book. If you are one of those people who is very much into vampires, zombies, aliens etc. this book probably holds no new information for you.

Handily, not just a zombie survival guide, but covers all nasties supernatural and fantastical. The pulp comic art is lovely to look at and overall makes for a fun read. Would make an excellent stocking filler for a younger reader.

With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for a fair review.

What's not to like? A funny and entertaining (as well as visually compelling) text that offers insight into the stuff of creative nightmares and imaginative horrors. I liked how the book is organized with flashy text features and the authors took their time crafting a finely illustrated and amusing work. A recommended gift for the monster hunter in the family.

What a great book with so many cool tips on how to survive a monster attack. This would make a wonderful gift for kids or even big kids who are into monsters like myself. Not for the squeamish though. The graphics were top notch and the helpful hints might just save your behind if you ever encounter any monsters.

Quirky, colorful and adorable (as adorable as zombies and werewolves can be anyway). Love the real life monster hunter feel and the colorful illustrations. This would be good for older middle school to high school kids and fun loving adults. We ordered a copy for my library.
