Osprey are indeed releasing a book about Zombies this October!
Zombies: A Hunter's Guide is a project that a few of us in the office have been trying to get off the ground for a couple of years - an Osprey style treatment of Zombies, blending elements that are found in our Elite, Warrior and Men-at-Arms series into a Duel-sized Osprey book.
Lumbering into view just in time for Halloween, Zombies: A Hunter's Guide is a tongue-in cheek look at the ghoulish* world of zombies, complete with our signature Osprey-style artwork and analysis of the 'history' of Zombies and the equipment, weaponry and tactics that are best suited to dispatching these foul creatures.
A must for anyone on the frontlines of the Zombie Wars, this book is written by one of the world's foremost experts on Zombies, a gentleman who just happens to sit next to me for 7 hours a day and who is a familar face to anyone who regularly visits this blog. Thats right, Zombies: A Hunter's Guide is the first Osprey book written by our very own Joe!
I can't reveal too many details from the book just yet, or I risk Joe attacking me with his trusty machete, but I can post up the cover for this book. The image on the front is actually a night-vision photograph taken by Joe on one of his late night hunting expeditions to London, an image that our Raid cover illustrator Mariusz Kozik has re-coloured for us.

* Mike actually misuses the word 'ghoulish' here. As most students of living-necrology are aware, 'Ghouls' are living cannibalistic creatures that have devolved from human beings and are generally faster and more intelligent than most zombie varieties. Mistaking a ghoul for a zombie in a combat situation could prove deadly. -Ed
