Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hand of Vecna" data-source="post: 1068190" data-attributes="member: 755">Definitely check out All Flesh Must Be Eaten and The Book of All Flesh (an anthology of zombie stories).  Both give excellent & numerous examples of what'd happen in a Zombie Epidemic.And I highly recommend George Romero's "Anubis Trilogy" (better known as Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the dead, and Day of the Dead) as to what may well happen should the Dead begin walking the Earth.Causes for the Zombies can be many & varied (ancient magical curses, biowarfare agents gone horribly wrong, weird radiations from space, etc., or even more convoluted -- maybe the meteor passing overhead is the remanants of an alien planet that was consumed by Zombies they'd summoned using foul necromantic & demonic sorceries, and the 'weird radiation' is actually magical energy raining down), and how long a Zombie can function without 'food' would be linked to how they were created (those created by demons inhabiting corpses would likely feed only for pleasure, while those brought back by chemical agents may need to constantly eat to replenish their own rapidly-deteriorating nervous tissues).</blockquote>
