Random: The Silent Zombie Apocalypse

I hadn't recognized that the zombies were among us again (i.e. in bookstores) until I read this post and realized the truth. As one_bullet_left explains, the Evil Overlord has not been playing fair:

Perhaps you're not aware of this, but in cultures where it is socially acceptable to unleash hordes of mindless, shambling undead minions on the unsuspecting populace, there are rules governing that sort of thing. For example, it is considered polite to announce your presence by taking up residence in a crumbling castle on a remote cliff and installing a large lightning rod. One might also send one's hunchbacked, lisping servant out and about to the local graveyards, where his digging and rummaging about might alert the townspeople of your intentions. Someone with your prodigious resources might also consider providing the locals with complimentary flamethrowers before your localized apocalypse takes place, just in the spirit of fair play.

I applaud one_bullet_left's courageous attempt to instill some civility into this apocalypse and look forward to receiving my flamethrower.
