See, Hear, Read: three local experts tell us what books, movies and music they’re craving this month

They love it. We want it. Three red-hot releases

“I’ve been into zombies ever since discovering George Romero when I was a teenager. The Walking Dead is a fantastic series, especially from a visual perspective. I work in film doing special effects, and I’ve never seen better makeup or animatronics. The lead actor, Andrew Lincoln—who plays Rick Grimes, a cop trying to find his family after waking up in a post-apocalyptic world—is also really good.” —J. R. GRASSBY Owner of Big Daddy’s DVD Shop

The Walking Dead: Season 1, created by Frank Darabont (March 8)


“There’s a reason the Mountain Goats have such a cult following: John Darnielle is an amazing songwriter—his songs are cathartic. He has always explored dark themes, but this album has a positive slant, as if his char­acters can finally rise above their problems. He’s got the folk thing down, so it’s cool to hear some nice string sections and a bit of rock.” —BRAD DAVIS Staffer at Sonic Boom

All Eternals Deck, The Mountain Goats (March 29)


“Adrian Tomine is known for his illustrations in The New Yorker and for his literary-style graphic novels, but Scenes From an Impending Marriage shows a different side of him. It’s a series of funny vignettes about what happens during the planning of a wedding; it was inspired by his own marriage. He gave a shorter version of the comic to all the guests at his wedding and later decided to expand it into a book.” —PETER BIRKEMOE Owner of The Beguiling
