Zombie Book Club

In this episode of Zombie Book Club, we explore the eerie parallels between zombie fiction and the realities of navigating life under growing fascism. Join Dan and Leah as they discuss practical coping strategies, the power of storytelling, and the importance of community-building in turbulent times. From grassroots activism to creative resilience, this episode blends humor, heart, and actionable insights to help you find strength in the face of uncertainty.

Tune in for a mix of personal stories, survival tips, and a deep dive into how fiction can help us process existential threats. Plus, we’ll share updates on Living Dead Weekend, Kickstarter projects (Zombie Date Night by Steve Urena), and ways to stay engaged with the zombie-loving community. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the insights, or the undead, this episode is your survival guide for the chaos ahead.
