Trailer for Zombie Anthology The Living Dead

November 17, 2008 by David Barr Kirtley Leave a Comment

Here’s the trailer for the John Joseph Adams zombie anthology The Living Dead. (This book includes my story “The Skull-Faced Boy”.)



The trailer was produced by Living Jacket Studios. I offered feedback on a couple of rough versions of this trailer, so it’s fun to see the final product, which I can feel like I played some small part in. (Among my suggestions were that the zombie imagery should be arranged in a narrative order of outbreak -> chaos & terror -> zombie victory, that there should be some laudatory blurbs, various small edits to make it clearer what the book was and what was in it, and that the far side of the zombie girl’s face should be all gory and messed up when she turns to look at the camera.)

My grandfather Roger Barr passed away early this morning at the age of 98. He was my mom’s father, and was my last surviving grandparent. He was being cared for by my uncle Steve (his son) and aunt Denice — both medical professionals — and was still sharp and good-humored in his final days. Yesterday […]
