About this audiobook
Are zombies real? As far as we know, dead people do not come back to life and start walking around, looking for trouble. But there are things that can take over the bodies and brains of innocent creatures, turning them into senseless slaves. Meet nature's zombie makers—including a fly-enslaving fungus, a suicide worm, and a cockroach-taming wasp—and their victims.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Zombie Makers: True Stories of Nature's Undead by Rebecca L. Johnson is a wickedly cool, zombie nature book for kids! The book describes the scenario and the action of what happens between the creatures involved first. Second, the science part of how the creature is controlled! Fun book. I got the Audible version and its only about a 45 minutes and it seemed to fly by! Great voice. Kids will like this book, middle grade I am guessing but some younger and some older probably would like it too, I sure did and I already knew about these things.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5For Juvenile audience but this old guy enjoyed the book; found it interesting and informative. Was not aware of nature's Zombie makers.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Examines real-life accounts of zombies in nature, including a fly-enslaving fungus, a suicide worm, and a cockroach-taming wasp, and related topics.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great subject! Fascinating, informative, creepy, and gross. Excellent photographs.
