Eric Engle asked Megan I. Tennant:

Do Zombies read? Silently? Aloud? Not at all?

Megan I. Tennant My 'zombies' aren't really the traditional flavor of zombie, so this question is a little complicated. The Depraved are suffering from a disease with various stages, and so in Stage 1 they can read as normal, stage 2 is progressive and all over the place but would eventually result in them forgetting how they learned to read and who taught them, though they would still be able to read (with some impairment in processing the words and meaning). And then in stage 3 they would still be able to read in theory but would likely not do it because they'd lack the focus, and motivation and would retain very little of the information. So they might read and use a broken "exit" sign when trying to get out of a building, but they wouldn't get much use from a book.
