About Me

I'm a PhD student researching the role of the archaeological dead in contemporary British society. Think of this as a scrapbook of all the interesting links, snippets of information and random bits and bobs I come across pertaining to death, dying and the dead. Enjoy?!

    City holds Zombie Apocalypse Day to prepare officials for invasion of undead (well, it is Stephen King’s hometown)

    With a recent spate of bizarre ‘flesh-eating’ criminals being arrested across the U.S., there have been rumours of a pending ‘zombie apocalypse’.

    And one New England town is taking no chances - it has just held a Zombie Apocalypse Day to train emergency services how to respond to an attack of the undead.

    Perhaps not coincidentally, that town was Bangor, Maine, where legendary horror author Stephen King lives - so it should be well prepared for a supernatural outbreak.

    Looks like fun!
