This may seem like a really dumb question, but i’m reading the "Zombie Survival Guide" and it has dates of actual zombie attacks, so im wondering, is it just made up or is it real?
Of course, but when i first bought it, i thought "this will be good for a few laughs" but when you read it, this guy goes so in depth with it, its hard not to think theres a little truth in it.

oh man, I love that book! I bought it to leave out on the coffee table – its always great for a reaction. Even more so now that my sister’s dog chewed on the cover a little.

Seriously though – its just for chuckles and giggles. All dates, etc. are totally fictional. If I hadn’t lent the book to someone recently I’d look but I think there’s a disclaimer of sorts in there. I think the closest reality ever got was the Great Influenza epidemic in 1918.
