Blood of the Zombies is a single-player role-playing gamebook written by Ian Livingstone, illustrated by Kevin Crossley and published in 2012 by Wizard Books. It forms part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy series. It is 17th in the modern Wizard "Series 2"
Blood of the Zombies has a modern day setting. And it’s about zombies. And neither of those things are really my cup of tea. I would have liked to have returned to Fighting Fantasy with a wander around a fantasy setting, just for nostalgia’s sake. And I understand why zombies are in there. It’s an attempt to pull in those modern gamers who love zombies. But, my goodness, zombies are all played out. Zombies are finished. The Walking Dead TV show? Awful. The World War Z movie? Well, from what I have heard (INSIDER INFO ALERT) it’s currently in horrible shape. Day Z? Okay, you got me there. Day Z is amazing. But the zombies in Day Z are barely zombies. They’re weird little hopping and crawling men of nightmares.
