MyGeekBox September 2014

When I heard September's theme was going to be Apocalypse I was more than eager for something to do with zombies to be included, and MyGeekBox haven't disappointed.

The first item in my box is a copy of World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks, the book behind the recent movie of the same name. I haven't seen the film but I hear there are a lot of differences. One of my favourite novels of all time is Stephen King's The Stand, a post-apocalyptic fantasy horror, so hopefully I'll enjoy reading this. 

Next is a Hostess Twinkie, the iconic American sponge cake with a cream filling. If you haven't seen Zombieland you may be wondering what this has to do with zombies. One of the main characters, Tallahassee, has an obsession with hunting down the last Twinkie. 

Then I got a Funko Mystery Mini Vinyl Figure from The Walking Dead series. I'm very happy to have received Daryl Dixon, my favourite character, holding his signature crossbow. This adorable figure is just 3 inches tall and looks quite chibi-like.

There's also a voucher code for 10% off 'The Mill' at End of Days Events, a realistic zombie survival experience. My boyfriend is an avid paintball fan so I think he would enjoy this. 

The next item is a yellow T-shirt featuring an image of Vault Boy, a mascot in the Fallout video game series set in the aftermath of a global nuclear war, who has been redesigned with mutations due to radiation.

The final product is a single-use bright green Glow Stick with a cord necklace; a convenient source of light for when the apocalypse comes, or just a fun party item. 

This month saw the introduction of a free MyGeekBox magazine, but as it's only the pilot issue there isn't much in it aside from a game review of Metro Redux and an interview with a cosplayer.

If you're a fan of horror like me, don't miss out on next month's Nightmare box available to order now!
