Tour Stop / Zombified by Lyra McKen

“THE ZOMBIE LANGUAGE SLOPAR”

BY LYRA MCKEN

Slopar

'A Zombie Language'

In my novel the Zombies can actually communicate with others in their hoard. They talk to one another with noises, groans, and slow moving hand signals.

The language of the Zombies is a simple yet effective one. They can alert each other that there is fresh uninfected meat nearby. They can warn each other of impending human gun fire or explosives. The fact that they can't move away very quickly usually means the warning comes too late.

In the beginning of the novel Cassie is attempting to explain to the man she is eating that there shouldn't be any hard feelings. To him it sounds like she is moaning in pleasure over devouring his leg. She names him Neil because she doesn't know his name. I think that she forgets that humans can no longer understand her.

When Rose first turns Cassie cannot understand her either. The art of Slopar comes slowly to the infected, and they eventually will understand it when they are completely transformed.

Through the use of their Zombie language they discover that they work better in slow moving hordes then groups of one or two.

Thanks again for allowing me to post on your blog. I hope everyone who reads Zombified enjoys it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
