Zombie CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead

Zombie CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead by Jonathan Maberry
Unrated

When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth...

And law enforcement is ready to take them down!

Since Night of the Living Dead, zombies have been a frightening fixture on the pop culture landscape, lumbering after hapless humans, slurping up brains and veins and whatever warm, fleshy matter they can clench in their rotting limbs. But what if they were real? What would happen if, tomorrow, corpses across the nation began springing up out of their graves and terrorizing the living?

Employing hard science and solid police work not – to mention jaw-dropping (literally!) humor – Zombie CSU is the only guide you need to make it through alive – not undead. At last you can:

  • Investigate zombie crime scenes, collecting and analyzing evidence of zombie attacks, and create a "murder book"
  • Examine the psychology of the zombie and develop a perp profile.
  • Observe medical science pros as they probe felled zombies for forensic clues.
  • Devise a zombie apocalypse survival scorecard and more!

Complete with lists of must-see zombie flicks from around the globe and tons of tips for kicking undead butt, Zombie CSU features hundreds of interviews with real zombie experts, forensics experts, detectives, filmmakers, and more.

Special guest stars: Tony Todd, Brian Keene, Patricia Tallman, David Wellington, James Gunn, Robert Kirkman, Dr. Wade Davis, Robert Sacchetto, Zombie Squad, Ramsey Campbell, Kim Paffenroth, Jamie Russell, Michael "CJ" Kelly, Bruce Andy Bohne, and dozens more!

Jonathan Maberry

Jonathan Maberry

Jonathan Maberry is a master weaver of suspense, horror, and dark adventure, with a unique ability to blend the supernatural with the gritty edges of reality. Born in the working-class neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Maberry’s early years were steeped in the pulse of urban life, which would later become a vivid backdrop for many of his stories. His career has been anything but conventional—drawing from his deep love of horror, martial arts, and folklore, he’s crafted a body of work that resonates with fans of both thrilling action and emotional depth.

Best known for his Joe Ledger series, a blend of horror, military fiction, and speculative thrillers, Maberry’s books often challenge readers with moral dilemmas, personal sacrifice, and the shadowy forces that lurk beneath the surface of society. But it’s not just the fast-paced action or the edge-of-your-seat suspense that makes his writing so compelling; it’s the way he builds real, relatable characters and explores themes of courage, survival, and the complexities of human nature, even in the face of the supernatural.

In addition to his Joe Ledger series, Maberry has earned praise for his Rot & Ruin novels, which take a unique approach to the zombie genre, focusing not just on the horrors of the undead, but also on the people who survive in a world ravaged by the apocalypse. These stories are more than just about zombies—they’re about growing up, finding hope, and fighting to keep what makes us human, even when everything around us is falling apart.

Maberry’s work has garnered numerous accolades, including multiple Bram Stoker Awards, and his stories have been adapted into comics, TV shows, and video games, further cementing his status as a force in modern horror and thriller fiction. With a career spanning decades, his influence continues to inspire writers and fans alike.

At the heart of Jonathan Maberry’s writing is an unrelenting drive to explore what it means to be human in the face of the extraordinary. Whether he’s plunging his characters into apocalyptic scenarios, exposing the darkest corners of society, or threading supernatural elements into his narratives, Maberry’s work challenges readers to confront their own fears, hopes, and the complexities of life and death. For those who crave more than just thrills, his books are a deep dive into the heart of what it means to survive—and to truly live.
