Tomorrow Night: DEVOLUTION With Max Brooks

Max Brooks is an American actor and author. He is the son of comedy legend Mel Brooks and actress Anne Bancroft. Much of Brooks’s writing focuses on zombie stories. He is known as the godfather of the cultural phenomenon of the zombie genre.

His first book, The Zombie Survival Guide (2003), published by Three Rivers Press, describes in depth the origin and lives of zombies. The book was followed up by The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks (2009), a graphic novel depicting several of the events detailed in the first book’s latter section.

In 2006, Brooks followed with World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which deals with the war between the human race and zombies. Paramount Pictures acquired the movie rights, and Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B Entertainment, produced the film.

The #1 bestselling author of World War Z returns with a horror tale that blurs the lines between human and beast, and asks, What are we capable of when we’re cut off from society?

Max has a new book out called DEVOLUTION. The book is “A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre.”

The story begins with the eruption of Mount Rainier and how a high-tech community copes with being completely cut off. With dwindling supplies and no help in sight, the group must quickly learn to survive with the limited rations and skills they possess as their paradise slowly turns into a nightmare. They soon begin to notice that wildlife is fleeing the woods en masse… among them, glimpses of humanoid beasts straight out of local legend, growing closer—and hungrier—with each passing day.

    I do not know how Wes does this all the time, but he does. He listens well and works hard and it shows. Can’t wait (once again, not just saying that) until the show is up on Friday. Go go Boy!
