"I've written and made films about zombies for over forty years. In all that time, I've never been able to convince my audience that zombies actually exist. On page one of THE ZOMBIE AUTOPSIES, Steven Schlozman takes away any doubt. This fast-moving, entertaining work will have you chuckling...and worrying."
--George A. Romero, director of Night of the Living Dead
"Gruesome and gripping! Steven Schlozman reveals the science behind zombies from the inside out."
--Seth Grahame-Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
"With THE ZOMBIE AUTOPSIES, Steven Schlozman redefines 'weird science' for the 21st Century. Brilliant, bizarre and wonderfully disturbing."
--Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Patient Zero
"Dr. Steve's 'Zombie Autopsy' will charm and excite a new generation into loving science."
--Chuck Palahniuk, New York Times bestselling author of Fight Club
As the walking dead rise up throughout the world, a few brave doctors attempt to find a cure by applying forensic techniques to captured zombies.
On a remote island a crack medical team has been sent to explore a radical theory that could uncover a cure for the epidemic. Based on the team's research and the observations of renowned zombie expert Dr. Stanley Blum, THE ZOMBIE AUTOPSIES documents for the first time the unique biology of zombie organisms.
Detailed drawings of the internal organs of actual zombies provide an accurate anatomy of these horrifying creatures. Zombie brains, hearts, lungs, skin, and digestive system are shown, while Dr. Blum's notes reveal shocking insights into how they function--even as Blum and his colleagues themselves begin to succumb to the plague.
No one knows the ultimate fate of Dr. Blum or his researchers. But now that his notebook, THE ZOMBIE AUTOPSIES, has been made available to the UN, the World Health Organization, and the general public, his scientific discoveries may be the last hope for humans on earth.

only the beginning of a new line of inquiry. If there is indeed an additional pathogen that has somehow become part of the ANSD infection, then we can alter our vaccines to create a more focused antibody response. Mononuclear cells such as those Gutierrez isolated are not recruited to fight either influenza or prions. This seems to add credence to the possibility that unaccounted-for infective agents are present. But this means further investigations will have to involve infected individuals who

Primary Confounders: 1. Death can result from artificially increased pH. 2. NLH status (“death”) can result from ongoing prion infection. 3. The symptoms of artificially increased pH are very similar to the symptoms of ANSD progression. D. Necessary Components:
be considered. And a different pathogen might have different vulnerabilities, different ways to kill it. More important, if there is an additional virus, we’d need to define our vaccines with this virus in mind. Maybe the vaccines don’t work because we’re not vaccinating against everything that makes up the disease. Does malabsorption, the decreased capacity for nutrients to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream, account for the intense hunger? Careful dissection and
rid of it. Maybe we could cure it. Cure us. Maybe we could save ourselves. I plan to start reviewing autopsy procedures tonight and will examine one of the most recently turned humanoids tomorrow morning. Gutierrez and Pittman will help where they can. NOVEMBER 17, 2012 6:46 AM First autopsy today. Gutierrez to assist and Pittman will keep hand-sketched records. I do not trust the digital equipment for accurate video recording. Gutierrez showed me how to maneuver subjects using
These are the spongiform changes brought about by the prion component of the disease. I’ve seen photographs, drawings. In a sense, I knew what to expect, but photographs don’t tell the whole story. This stuff moves. The brain material literally changes shape as we expose it. It pulses with each beat of the subject’s heart, and each pulse forces more tissue up and over the walls of the opened skull. As I described before, the sulci are widened, and the vessels that bring blood to the brain, the
