Your complete 180-page guide to the hit TV show plus the entire zombie phenomenon, from the makers of SFX magazine

In this time of economic uncertainty, the question on everyone’s minds seems to be: “How will I survive the zombie apocalypse?” It’s a valid question, and you probably won’t care about your mortgage arrears when zombies are climbing up the side of your house. The insurance probably won’t cover it either.

So, we’ve put together The SFX Book Of The Walking Dead in an attempt to not only give you a complete guide to the TV show, but also to help prepare you for that fateful day when zombies try to eat your children. It'll be on sale from this weekend and on shelves throughout the run of the TV show this year.

Zombies In Videogames

Starting from the very first zombie video game in 1984, we look at the bloodstained evolution of the genre, how it’s changing and what the best way to kill a zombie is. We also have interviews with the creators of The Walking Dead game.

Survival Tips

We speak to stars of TV, movies and books to ask them how they’re preparing for the zombie apocalypse! And once you’ve got tips from those guys, and loaded up with information from The SFX Book Of The Walking Dead , then why not take our survival quiz and see how likely you are to live longer than one day if zombies take over the world?
