They walk among us: The Living.
They seek to vanquish us. And we bite back. Still, every Zombie needs support.
Now an ancient military manual reveals the secrets that will keep Undead Comrades from losing their heads as they learn to assess the Enemy and develop offensive strategy (an easy task for those of the decaying flesh).
Based on the teachings of Sun-Tzumbie, with hysterical, er, historical anecdotes from Madame Cadavre Exquis, The Art of War for Zombies is packed with ancient Zombie secrets for overwhelming humankind.
It all starts by declaring one word:
WAR!
(Please note: The Apocalypse will not be televised.)
The Art of War for Zombies is a hilarious mash-up of the ancient Sun-Tzu classic, The Art of War, with Zombies, er, components.
