Line 2: [[File:DiarioDeUnZombi_2960.jpg\|frame]] ''Diario de un Zombi'' (translated: [[Diary of a Zombie]]) is a [[Horror]] novel by Sergi Llauger about Erico, the world's only thinking [[Our Zombies Are Different\|zombie]], a lonely and self absorbed 23 -year -old (or 1 one-year -old, depending on if he's feeling more zombie than human) who is unliving out his days as the last conscious resident of a post-[[Zombie Apocalypse]] Barcelona. It's not all bad though, despite his slow and decaying body and lack of intelligent company he has the run of the place; he has personalized theater showings, all the books he could want, and [[No Zombie Cannibals\|no one trying to eat his face off]]... [[Dead to Begin With\|again.]] His world is eventually intruded upon by a chance meeting with the city's last two ''living'' survivors, Annette and Paula, a researcher trying to get her eight -year -old ward from Bacelona to the French Alps so her [[The Immune\|immunity to the zombie virus]] can be researched into a cure. He reluctantly agrees to help them get out of the city, which is easier said than done since the city is still crawling with zombies and the [[Implacable Man\|relentless]] Archangels, biomechanical juggernauts that [[Kill It ~~With~~with Fire\|incinerate anything and everything that moves.]] The book deals with the tension of Erico's dual nature as a thinking and (somewhat) feeling human imprisoned within a decaying body with a slowly growing [[Horror Hunger]], and his healing of his atrophied humanity through a growing friendship with Paula. The story is fleshed out with [[Flash Back]] of Erico's childhood in Italy and his life before dying. The impossible journey is filled with tense encounters with zombies out for Paula's blood, hardened bands of surviving humans, and the terrifying Archangels. The book is currently only in Spanish, and sample chapters can be read in the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130305231421/http://www.diariodeunzombi.com/index.html official website]. {{tropelist}} * [[Actual Pacifist]]: Erico, who actually values (or perhaps more accurately, doesn't hate and even empathizes with) zombie "life" on philosophical principle. * [[Action Girl]]: Annette. She rigs her safehouse with explosive to escape ambush, is skilled with a crossbow, can easily disassemble a gun and pick locks. Line 17 ⟶ 16: * [[Cool Mask]]: Erik the hallucinatory [[Coat, Hat, Mask\|venetian masked dancer]]. Who only appears whenever Erico's grip on humanity loosens. * [[Crazy Prepared]]: Annette. * [[Cult of Personality]]: ~~Not religious, more of a cult of personality around~~Around Antares. * [[The Dead Have Eyes]]: Zombies have a very acute sense of smell and, considering Erico's incredible range, hearing. * [[Enemy Within]]: Erik is a hallucination that only appears to Erico when he's highly emotional, and is a literal sign of his slipping grip on humanity. Line 26 ⟶ 25: * [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Antares is not only unfazed at Erico's zombie-ness, but talks to him almost seductively once captured. * [[The Immune]]: Paula towards the zombie virus. Erico to a lesser extent, allowing him to stay conscious. * [[Implacable Man]]: The Archangels, crossing into [[Super -Persistent Predator]] considering they can't reason. * [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Paula and Erico. * [[Just Toying ~~With~~with Them]]: The Archangel Annette {{spoiler\|collapsed her building around}}. That [[Unstoppable Rage\|just made it angry.]] * [[Lightning Bruiser]]: The Archangels. Huge and lumbering, but able to run fast enough to be a threat to humans. * [[Living Emotional Crutch]]: Erico to Paula once {{spoiler\|Annette dies and he risks his life to save her.}} Line 51 ⟶ 50: [[Category:Horror Literature]] [[Category:Zombie Stories]] [[Category:Diario Dede Unun Zombi]] [[Category:Literature]] [[Category:Spanish Literature]]
