Location: In the armory room to the left as you enter through the front doors of the West Ridge Emergency Shelter. Are you ready, or at least want to look ready for the zombie apocalypse? With the human obsession over the macabre and death, it’s no surprise zombies have become culturally pervasive. Zombie-inspired looks can be surprisingly colorful for the living dead, as they add that extra bit of funk to any outfit.

Especially the characters. Zom-B contains some of my favourite cast members from any of my books. B Smith, Rage, Dr Oystein, Dan-Dan, Mr Dowling… They were fascinating to work on. I never know much about my characters when I start a story. They develop in a way I don’t fully understand, and I end up not being able to control them. Simpson, Rachael (25 August 2020).

Plot Outline:

Location: The key is found in the master bedroom of the Quizeens Residence, on the second floor and inside the larger closet. Location: After setting the explosives and entering the first room of Calder’s inner lair in the underground, look for an open door on the right. The key is located here. Zom-B is] a clever mix of horror, fantasy and realism – about the damaging 'virus' of racial hatred and social paranoia. The horror scenes are well choreographed and not without the useful escape valve of humour. There is some earthy language ("I thought she was going to chew me a new arsehole," says B Smith) but it fits the tone and characters in the book rather than seeming gratuitous. [11] Zom-B (alternatively known as the Zom-B Chronicles) is a young adult zombie apocalyptic- thriller novel series by written by Irish author Darren O'Shaughnessy under the pen name Darren Shan. The series is told by first-person perspective of B Smith, a teenager turned into a zombie. Like Shan's previous series, Zom-B is notable for exploring themes of racism, xenophobia, and the sociological concept of "us and them".

Of course that's nonsense, yet many people believe the lies, especially people who (like me when I was younger) don't travel much or get to mingle with people from other cultures. I felt I had to do what I could to get young readers questioning the ways of their elders, to decide for themselves what is right or wrong, to look for the truth behind the cloud of lies. The main message I wanted to impart was -- QUESTION EVERYTHING! Location: The key is on the second floor of the facade on the southern-center wall of Caribbean Cove. Climb the curved stairs to find a body with the keys. Little, Brown (16 October 2012). " Zom-B by Darren Shan – Review". Publishers Weekly– via Brown Little.A short novella titled Zom-B Circus, set between Zom-B Gladiator and Zom-B Mission, was released on 27 April 2014, following one of B's teachers, Cat Ward. [3] Plot [ edit ] Now, personally, with Zom-B I believe I have come up with the greatest ending ever imagined by a writer, but then again, I believe that every time I finish a long series! I’m prepared for the worst thing a writer can possibly encounter – not outright negativity, but mere indifference – but I’m hoping that readers will be excited by the book’s ending, that it takes them by surprise by not being what they were expecting, yet at the same time ends up being more than they dreamed possible. And if it’s not, and I let some of them down, the way lots of us writers of long series tend to do in the opinion of many of our readers? Shan, Darren (28 October 2015).
