Hello everyone! Today I am really excited to kick off our three day Zombie Boyz celebration with authors Geoffrey Knight and Ethan Day. Geoff and Ethan have brought a great post for us, as well as the first of three copies of the book we will be giving away. So please join me in giving them a huge welcome!
Geoff and Ethan’s Movie Buffs Guide on to How to Survive in a Post-Apocalyptic World
It’s here! The Zombie Boyz have arrived, and like the six Horsemen of the Apocalypse, TJ Klune, Eric Arvin, Ethan Stone, Daniel A Kaine, Ethan Day and I are dishing out a plague of panic, a storm of sexiness and a fireball of fun all rolled into the best zombie book ever written (by us).
And while this anthology is jam-packed with handy hints on how to come out of a zombie plague with all limbs in tact, Ethan and I thought we’d delve even deeper, watch a few flicks, and put together “Geoff and Ethan’s Movie Buff’s Guide on How To Survive In A Post-Apocalyptic World!” Because if there’s one thing the movies have taught us, it’s how to survive doomsday and its aftermath. And we’re not just talking zombies here (even though that’s all the rage right now). No matter if civilization is thrown into chaos by a rogue meteor, environmental disaster, science-gone-wrong or nuclear armageddon, Hollywood has devised a number of handy hints to make the best of a bad situation. So to celebrate the release of our book Zombie Boyz, we thought we’d put together our top tips on how to survive in a post-apocalyptic world… so make sure you print up this blog post and keep it in your bunker for future reference.
Tip #1-A
Kidnap Tom Cruise. Yes, he may over-power you in your attempt given his agility and ability to fight—as demonstrated in just about every movie he’s made except Jerry Maguire—but if you do succeed, Tom may prove a true asset in helping you defeat any mutants and solve the true reason as to the fall of Earth. And let’s face it, after bouncing back from his Oprah sofa-pouncing days, that man has proven he’s a survivor.
Tip #1-B
Plus Tom already has an ‘in’ with the aliens being one of the Grand Poobah’s in that whole Scientology thang! Bonus!!!
Tip #2
Don’t swallow anything called Soylent Green! (Unless it comes out of a hot guy whose name is Soylent Green) Both are likely to be full of protein, but in most cases, you may not like reading the ingredients.
Tip #3
Don’t allow every pretty, un-dead face to lull into a sense of security! If it walks like a zombie and moans like a zombie, chances are it’s a zombie. But if a horde of them manage to corner you, don’t panic. Just start lurching and groaning with the gang and hopefully you’ll fool them.
Tip #4
Don’t let the rockstar hairdo and snazzy outfit fool you! If Tina Turner invites you to the “Thunderdome”, it’s NOT a nightclub! You’ll be rollin’ alright, but it won’t be down the river!
Tip #5
Listen to your father! Especially when he’s a paleoclimatologist for NORAD (as we know most of your dads are!), because when you’re trapped in New York after a giant tsunami hits and the temperature of the planet starts to plummet on its way to the next Ice Age, you’re gonna wanna remember every boring story your old man told you at the dinner table! And if you end up trapped in a library and discover you need to burn some books in order to keep warm, make sure they weren’t written by Geoffrey Knight or Ethan Day…pretty please?
Tip #6-A
Pack a Teddy, sometimes they give great advice!
Tip #6-B
Key word, sometimes, people! Sometimes they give great advice. That doesn’t mean you should blindly do everything your Teddy tells you – even if that Teddy hangs with the distractingly hunky Marky Mark Wahlberg!
Tip #7
Don’t talk to talking apes. If one starts babbling on about “the rise of Caesar”, just ignore him and keep on going about your day as though nothing strange happened. You seriously don’t wanna get caught up in that monkey business!

Some good advice but could I swap out Tom Cruise – I’m nesarly 6′ and not willow tree thin so I dont think he’d be able to pick me up and rush me out of there! Have been hearing all about TJ and ERIC’s story too, so count me in!
Yes please count me in! What an awe inspiring list of authors in one book!

I LOVE a good zombie story! Please count me in.
Yeah, I’m not sure his possible usefulness outweighs his Tom Cruiseness, lol. But I’ve mad a note of the rest of those tips!
okay, that was funny as hell. This book just made my must read list . thanks for the laughs and the chance to win!
That was great! Looking forward to reading this.
Count me in too.
This looks great – I love the idea of the zombies! Please count me in as well. Thanks
TJ and Eric have talked so much about this book you can’t help but be curious about it. I’d love to participate. Thank You!!!
In case of a zombiepocalypse, I’ll be sure to pack a teddy just In case. ;D As for kidnapping Tom Cruise, there are much sexier guys I’d rather kidnap instead. lol
This sounds like an awesome book and I bet a zombish good read! Thanks for the chance to win a copy! =)
This post was so funny! I had a lot of fun reading it. Count me in for the giveaway, please, I’d love to read more!
I have mixed feelings toward zombies, but Knight and Day make ’em sound good!
Please count me in, thank you…
I shall have to keep this tips in my handy-dandy “How to Survive the Apocalypse — Whatever It May Be” notebook. You never know when you might need to know this stuff!
Fun stuff! I loved trying to identify all the pop culture references you dropped. Also, I appreciate you guys looking out for all of us, but (as far as we know) there is only one Tom Cruise to go around, so some of us are in deep trouble.
Count me in for the giveaway please. These top tips could be very useful. I’m beginning to wish my dad was a paleoclimatologist for NORAD, but alas, he was a humble postman. He does have a lot of books though.
Love the tips. Please count me in.
ETHAN!!! lol. with you and TJ in the ranks of the authors, i will have no choice but to love this collection which just happens to center around one of my favorite themes ANYWAY lol
Lol, great tips…thanks for sharing them =) Please count me in.
Thanks for all the great advice, now I’m fully prepared. I can’t wait to read this book!
I Love the tips guys. And thanks for the post.
Good tips;) Count me in for the drawing!
