Life of the Dead A project of Martinus Publishing (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Tales of undead terror have been woven into the fabric of modern society, and amidst the blood and gore lie hidden questions: What motivates these reanimated cadavers to do what they do? What is the scientific rationale behind their existence? Why do they always seem so hungry, and seek the flesh of the living? All very scientific queries begging for answers. Life of the Dead seeks to answer these questions, and more. Explore the lesser-told story of zombies and other undead creatures. Go beyond the horror and discover the true nature of these creatures from beyond the grave!
