All day long I have been trying to figure out why the picture on this Zombie Anthology looked so familiar.
Clearly he doesn't look like someone I know...and all day it's been driving me crazy..trying to figure it out.
I had almost concluded that his hair must remind me of Cillian Murphy's hair (in the beginning when it's all hacked up) and/or cheek bones in the zombie movie 28 Days Later...

Hm, I bet he would have never believed that over 100 years after his death a photograph of his face would be altered to resemble a zombie and then featured on the cover of book in the 21st century.
So bizarre.....
