I just finished reading the best of the best of the subgenre of horror that one might refer to as “zombie-apocalypse-punk.” You know, because there’s splatterpunk and cyberpunk and steampunk. I don’t know if zombie-apocalypse-punk has made it into the lexicon of genre fiction yet, but if it hasn’t, we should probably help it get there…
Yep, you guessed it. They didn’t talk about climbers and skiers.
After reading this book, it is my contention that climbers and skiers would fare much better in a zombie apocalypse than many others. The duel facts that zombies can’t really climb and that they can’t ski would give us a great advantage.
In the winter, zombies would have a hard time in the snow. In World War Z, many zombies freeze solid during the coldest months, making them harmless. Add to that the fact that zombies wouldn’t have the wherewithal to use floatation, and skiers would have free reign in the mountains without fear!
So what do you think? How would the world of climbers and skiers fare in the Zombie Apocalypse?
And yeah…this is reaching a bit for a blog topic. But hey, who doesn’t want to talk about zombies?
