Game Hunter: My Zombies.
In the last decade or so zombies have achieved a bit of a resurgence and I saw the popular films ‘28 Days Later’ and ‘Shaun of the Dead,’ the first showed zombies to be fast and viciously dangerous and the second depicted zombies as slow, lumbering and easy to be killed. The rest generally showed zombies in one of these two categories and they were always grotesque!
From this I came up with the idea to have my zombies not so categorised, and so I have fully turned zombies, half-zombies, quarter-zombies and so on, it is not a static state but rather they deteriorate!
The general theme in zombie movies or books is that zombies are evil, without heart or soul and need to be killed or at least escaped from. That was until I read ‘Warm Bodies,’ what a different perspective! The hero and the rest of the zombies aren't nearly so cartoonishly grotesque and they have feelings, heart and internal thoughts! I loved that and so my main characters became these quarter-zombies with feelings.
