Max Brooks, author of The Zombie Survival Guide, is on a Halloween Tour. Brooks, who is considered to be one of the world's foremost Zombie experts, has also won an Emmy as a writer for Saturday Night Live and is the son of legendary comedian Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft. His other New York Times bestsellers include the graphic novel The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks and World War Z, which Paramount Pictures is adapting for a movie starring Brad Pitt.
