The Zombie Survival Guide, is a tongue-in-cheek survival manual written Max Brooks. It reads like a normal manual and is quiet amusing, I now know how to dealing with the potentiality of a zombie attack. The guide concludes with a fictional list of documented zombie encounters throughout history. The oldest entry is 60,000 BC, in Katanga, Central Africa, although the author expresses doubt to its validity. Instead, he presents evidence from 3,000 BC in Hieraconpolis, Egypt as the first verifiable instance of a zombie outbreak. The most recent entry is 2002, in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
