"World War Z" - by Max Brooks
(Preview)
I admit that this might be a strange book with a strange title, WWZ for short. I recently saw the title while browsing in a book store and decided to read it. Not really a horror story per se, WWZ is more of a post-apocalyptic tale. The book is not, however, for the faint of heart due to a few very graphic p...

(Preview)
