In Fallout: New Vegas, the term zombie isn't used as frequently as in Fallout 3, but the player character does use the term to insult and threaten Grecks into paying back caps owed to Francine Garret and Raul Tejada uses the word zombie when referring to a nickname of his. Mister Crowley will hire the Lone Wanderer to kill supposed ghoul bigots by shooting them in the head like they do in old zombie movies. Calling Roy Phillips or Mister Crowley a zombie may lead them to attack. It is commonly used by the bigots who live at Tenpenny Tower, especially the chief of security, Gustavo, who uses the disparaging term prolifically. In Fallout 3, most ghouls are very offended by the term. In Fallout 2, the Chosen One can call Wooz a zombie, which appears to deeply offend him. The raving cultist Dane asserts that zombies are a disgrace to God. He mentions that he once belonged to a gang called the Fighting Flesh. The character description of Slummer, a reveler at the Cathedral, refers to him as simply 'a zombie,' and the player has many opportunities to call him one.

However there were rumors of both the ghouls and their origins circulating prior to 2161.

Still, the narrator doesn’t forget that this is an apocalyptic horror story, making sure there are plenty of chills and thrills along the way.

This provides a welcome departure from the doom and gloom of most zombie tales, and Runnette wrings plenty of chuckles from the material. Runnette gives Talbot a dry, I-knew-this-was-going-to-happen-to-me-someday attitude that captures the wry spirit of Tufo’s prose. When a new vaccine against the latest incarnation of the H1N1 turns the majority of the population into flesh-eating monsters, blue collar Colorado family man and survivalist Michael Talbot-along with his family and an eclectic group of neighbors from the small gated community of Little Turtle-is forced to fight for his life against an ever-growing hoard of the living dead. The word lighthearted doesn’t usually come to mind when we think of the zombie apocalypse, but Sean Runnette does a skillful job balancing humor with horror in this audio edition, which makes for an entertaining stroll with the walking dead.
