“Some people have anxiety dreams about performing in front of an audience and their naked or they forgot their materials for a big presentation, I have zombie dreams.
There are different theories about why people are afraid of zombies. For me, being a misanthropic and paranoid sort, zombies tap into a big fear of mine, which is that in any instant, everyone you know could become the kind of monster you sadly, secretly always suspected they were. A switch goes off, suddenly the whole world is changed and all of your private fears have been revealed.”
— Author Colson Whitehead’s latest novel Zone One chronicles the plight of a group of zombie exterminators during the invasion of the undead in New York City.
