  “You may not have been aware of it, but zombies actually have some pretty strong opinions about things. . . . hilarious.” —Wired 
   
  Zombies hate clowns. They also hate hippies, not to mention zip lines, penguins, moon penguins, nudists, weddings, sharing, and kittens. They really hate unicorns, strangely don’t mind Canadians, and love YOU.  
   
  Greg Stones’s ghoulishly colorful paintings reveal funny and unexpected scenes of zombie disgruntlement, cataloging the stuff that really riles up the walking dead (astronauts, rain, bagpipes, re-gifting, and more) with wit, humor, and, of course, brains. Zombies Hate Stuff offers an irresistible perspective on the zombie apocalypse and the pop culture phenomenon that will not die.  
   
  “Stones’s panels have a cool way of collectively turning a grin into a chuckle (and perhaps, dare it be said, into a hearty guffaw). . . . When it comes to creating humor, Stones uses all the tricks of the trade.” —Publishers Weekly
