Saw a new book at the store you might want to check out’ “The Zombie Autopsies” a novel by Steven Schlozman with an interesting medical twist. It is written in the form of a medical journal/diary. It looks like it is hand written and even has cool medical style illustrations of the internal workings of the zombies. Dr. Stanley Blum is a neuroscientist looking for the medical causes of zombieism and is himself already infected, as is two-thirds of mankind, with Ataxic Neurodegenerative Satiety Deficiency Syndrome (ANSD), the virus that makes flesh-eating zombies. Blum heads to an island off the coast India to dissect/vivisect captured zombies; in the hope of isolating the pathogen before it kills him. The science seems plausible and is pretty easy to understand. It doesn’t have a really “meaty” plot, Ha ha pun intended, but Schlozman gives us a pretty grisly view of the zombie apocalypse and a surprising explanation for the virus's origin.
