Do Zombies Sleep?
13 March 2014 Do Zombies Sleep?
Dave Pullano 84 recently had his illustrated childrens book, Do Zombies Sleep?: An Impractical Guide to Monsters, Mutants and Magical Creatures, published by Old Line Publishing Company.
With accompanying illustrations by Patrick Connelly, the 30-page book takes a comical glance at the lives of monsters, with an attempt to unveil some of the mysteries surrounding their mystical lifestyles.
Inspired by his son Jakes simple question: Dad, do zombies sleep? Pullano explains how this question developed into an idea for a childrens book.
As a writer, Im always scribbling down ideas as well as funny things my son Jake would say, he explains. A few years back, I picked up an old journal and saw something Jake asked me when he was five, Do zombies sleep? It struck me as the title for a fun kids book. The hard part was figuring out the rest, which broadened the concept to include questions about other monsters and magical creatures.
