The Book of the Dead: Our Lost Zombie exclusive

For that fresh as the bloody, splattered morning dew feeling...

As mentioned on the latest episode of the podcast, we’ve got a bit of a tasty exclusive on the site – if you like the taste of human flesh, that is.

The Thumbcast has teamed up with Abrams & Chronicle Books to present you with three exclusive extracts from the new Lost Zombies project Dead Inside: Do Not Enter, a beautifully glossy found footage style book which collects notes supposedly left by survivors (and sometimes victims) of the undead apocalypse.

Think a sort of Post Secret of the Dead, and you’ve got the right idea.

You can see our extracts from the new book by going here. Enjoy!

Episode 28: The Hunchback of Newton Mearns

Oct 6

Posted by The Thumbcast

The cast of Neverwhere promptly escaped into the London Underground where they survive as soldiers of fortune...

“You’re listening to Women’s Hour on Radio 4…”

Iain and Craig are joined by the First Lady of the Thumbcast (well, the First Lady ON the Thumbcast, anyway), gaming geek Cara Ellison, for another ramshackle ramble.

This time out we’ve got reviews of Terra Nova and Melancholia, an exclusive interview with wrestling voice Jeremy Borash, Cara’s charity gameathon – and Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere faces going underground for the Vault.

Plus: Batgirl’s lack of socks, Overblood, the Doctor Who Knitting Patern Book, Windaelickers of London, Lars Von Trier’s Unicron, vaginal metaphors, Baby Goose, Michael Buble Veloceraptor, poor Finlay Robertson, cinematic UNIX users. Denise Richards’ impact on science industry recruitment, Jack Bauer’s hood of magic, the new R Lee Ermey, how to knit the perfect jobbie, and a warning not to dip your cock in fiery Irn Bru…

Do please go and donate to Cara’s charity fundraising efforts here. Oh, and apologies for the slight interference every so often – two of our presenters forgot to switch their phones off…
