When I started writing, there was nothing about zombies. It was all teen movies, which to me are scarier than zombies, but that's another story.

[...]you don’t have to be Sun freakin Tzu to know that real fighting isn’t about killing or even hurting the other guy, it’s about scaring him enough to call it a day.

Americans worship technology. It's an inherent trait in the national zeitgeist.

They were viewed very much like castles, I suppose: as crumbling, obsolete relics, with no real modern function other than as tourist attractions. But when the skies darkened and the nation called, both reawoke to the meaning of their existence. One shielded our bodies, the other, our souls.

Looking for love on the internet is like Janet Leigh asking Norman Bates if he likes her body.
