Overtime a few more human stragglers come to Snareville and are welcomed into the community, providing they stay a week in quarantine and follow the harsh but necessary laws. After another trip to the only thing worse than a zombie apocalypse, Walmart, the townsfolk further fortify the city and prepare for the long haul. Armed men are set at every roadblock to make sure the undead menace is kept at bay while a quick (and extremely dangerous) trip is made to a nearby town for some much needed weapons and ammunition. Not stopping there, they quickly construct defenses around town, blocking off bridges and sealing roads. When they show up on their front door, taking a few members of the community to the other team as they do, the townsfolk take up arms and eliminate the immediate threat.

No one believes much of it at first, even after a couple towns become little more than smoldering craters, but the dead don’t leave Snareville alone for too long. The dead have begun to rise and they are devouring the living, at least that’s what the people of Snareville, a small town in Illinois, have been hearing. Our story/survival guide begins with the end of the world.

We worry more about books like Snareville than we do those nut-jobs at least the zombie fringe isn’t out there helping humans form a good resistance…damn you Youngquist. I mean, yeah, there is the zombie fringe that’s all about a zombie apocalypse, kind of like an undead cult, but we don’t put much stock in them, they’re kind of like the Pat Robertsons of the undead. As far as I know, that plan hasn’t been conceived yet. Before we can band together and take over the world we’re going to have to come up with a plan to turn the living into cattle without overrunning the world in walking corpses, don’t need too much competition among our ranks after all. We don’t plan on starting one anytime soon mind you, not many of us are ready to go over to the all pork diet just yet, and if we go all apocalyptic that’s exactly what we’re going to have to do eventually. Not because the books sucks, in fact it’s a great read, but because it gives you meatsacks too many good ideas on what to do in case of a zombie apocalypse. This is the kind of book the undead can’t stand. As zombies overrun the country and people flee in panic, the good folks of Snareville decide to hole up and protect their town rather than give it over to the dead.
