When
I wrote Ninja Versus Pirate Featuring
Zombies, the zombie trend was just beginning. It's been exciting and
encouraging to see how commonplace zombies have become in popular culture.
While I'm gratified to see zombies have remained relevant, I was worried that,
prior to the publication of NVPFZ, I'd see someone else handle the topic the
same way I do. Fortunately, I haven't.
In
NVPFZ, zombies are people who mindlessly accept the status quo. They're a
danger because the status quo quite obviously leads to ruin. In the sequel, Zombie Versus Fairy Featuring Albinos, I
delve even deeper into the zombie archetype. I don't want to give anything
away, but I think it's a new and exciting take on the undead, and I can't wait
for it to come out.
Zombies
keep changing all the time. The movie 28
Days Later showed us that zombies can run. In the video game Half-Life 2, we learned that zombies can
jump really far. In Ninja Versus Pirate
Featuring Zombies, zombies can use guns.
One
of the zombie's only weaknesses is its slowness and its inability to strike
from a distance; in recent works, we can see that weakness addressed. I wanted
to be a part of that: making the zombie even scarier.
I
think what's really unique about Ninja
Versus Pirate Featuring Zombies is that zombies are regular people who
mindlessly accept the status quo. The horror is real and all around you right
now! Find a safe place to hide and weep! That's what I do!
