Isis asked Gena Showalter:

First off, I love your books! I think they're just... I don't even know, but I do know I read all of them but the last one. Second, How did you come up with the idea of combining school life with zombie life? I always thought that zombies will make things kind of weird, but you wrote it so they can co exist together.

Gena Showalter When I first wrote Alice in Zombieland, I wrote your typical zombies. But afterward I got very sick and spent about 2 months bed bound. I read the bible a lot, which talks of good vs. evil and spirit vs. sprit. That’s when it hit me like a bolt of lighting. THAT’s what my book was missing. Spirit zombies fighting the spirits of slayers :)
