Comment to win an ARC of FEED.

And now the time has come. The time to give away an ARC of Feed via that time-honored tradition, the random draw. So...

1) Comment here.
2) Tell me your favorite thing about zombies, if you like.
3) Or you can tell me you're excited about the book. Whatever.
4) That's all.

I will draw a winner Monday morning (April 12th); entries will be accepted until then. This contest is open to all countries, because postage is spendy, but zombies are love. One entry per person, please.

Game on!

All the mystery of how zombies are made. Is it tetrodotoxin? Or datura?

Wait. Vodou zombies there.

It's tetrodotoxin. Well, real zombis. :) There is also a lot of ritual, which, whether or not you believe in the deities responsible or any deities, conveniently also functions as an efficient brainwashing method when performed on someone whose brain is marinating in tetrodotoxin and whose self-concept is slowly melting on account of being conscious and terrified and having been buried and all that, especially if they were brought up to be afraid of exactly this thing happening to them.

That's Wade Davis's hypothesis, anyway, and it's unfortunate that most of the material on zombi powders has come from one source, when the TTX levels in the zombi powders he brought back from Haiti had negligible amounts in them.

I was unaware of the test results, thanks for telling me!
