Dale Sherman's (Louisville, KY) first apocalyptic movie memory was explaining the plot to This Is Not a Test to his family when he was seven. Since then he has a fan of the film genre, while writing books on such topics as women in music, urban legends, Alice Cooper, and several books on the rock band KISS. He lives above-ground and unafraid of zombies with his healthy wife, angelic daughter, and various nonlethal pets.
