Fans of The Walking Dead may never go hungry again thanks to the forthcoming 'The Snacking Dead' cookbook. The book is a licensed product from the show and is filled with dishes designed to be prepared during the event of a zombie apocalypse. (This is more or less the perfect companion piece to The Zombie Survival Guide).
The The Snacking Dead contains 50 recipes that source ingredients that can be found in both supermarkets and "on hand." The publisher, Random House, says that the book will also tell the story of everymom Pam and her backwoods hunk Daryl. The book is set to be released October 29, 2013, in both Kindle and hard-cover format, and no cover has been picked as of yet. However, fans of the show are bound to be partial to the knife-meets-meat cover.
