Just Like in the Movies: A Short Story, (Paperback)

"This guy knows more about the undead than I do. and that's saying something, because I've been hanging out with zombies for as long as I can remember."<br> George A. Romero, director of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD <p>Ronnie Marrero is a twenty-something year-old virgin who lives with his mother, but he's an unreliable narrator, and he's probably not gonna admit that to <i>you</i>. He collects <i>Star Wars</i> toys and comic books. He loves movies a lot. He's <i>gonna make a movie one day</i>, but he still hasn't seen <i>Casablanca</i> or <i>The Red Shoes</i> because he was too busy watching <i>Dawn of the Dead</i> for the two-hundredth time. (Or was it three-hundredth?) </p><p>He's seen <i>Night of the Living Dead</i>, <i>Day of the Dead</i>, and even Tom Savini's 1990 remake of <i>Night</i> around two hundred times apiece, too. (Or was it three hundred?) </p><p>Ronnie Marrero is <i>really</i> into zombies... </p><p>So when the dead start coming back to life in search of living human flesh and society collapses-<i>just like in the movies</i>-Ronnie's gonna be totally prepared... </p><p>Right? </p><p>A bloody and blackly-humorous meta-fictional exploration of zombie fandom, <i>Just Like in the Movies </i>was originally serialized on the George A. Romero message board and then published in its entirety on <i>The Homepage of the Dead </i>in 2000<i>. </i>It became one of the most-read and highest-rated zombie stories online, back when dial-up was king, and is available now for the first time as an e-book, some twenty-five long, bloody years later... </p><p><br><i>Night of the Living Dead</i> (TM) and (c) Image Ten, Inc.
