    This may be hard to find for most of you, but the book which inspired "Cemetery Man", Tiziano Sclavi's "DellaMorte DellAmore" is a masterpiece. Even weirder than the movie, by the way. Sclavi wrote some great living dead entries in his classic comic series, "Dylan Dog". Particularly, the very first issue ("L'alba dei morti viventi", which means "Dawn of the Dead"), "Orrore nero" (a crossover between "Cemetery Man" and "Dylan Dog") and "Morgana", one of the most fascinating comics I've ever read. Some of those were published by Dark Horse in the States, if I'm not mistaken.
    Warning: it's not exactly "survivalist horror". If you have seen "Cemetery Man", I guess you know what I'm talking about.

    Besides all the books already mentioned, I enjoyed Return of the Living Dead, the original book not the movie novelization. The movie novelization is decent, it gives you a lot more back story into where the barrels come from and what happened, but the original book reminds me a lot of Night of the Living Dead and has a similar feeling to it as far as being trapped and the isolation.

    By the way, here is a link to the original Dawn novel http://cgi.ebay.com/Dawn-of-the-Dead...QQcmdZViewItem

    autumn: if your looking for mindless gore look eslewere, this is about the people being isolated in an impossible situation.
    highschool of the dead: a great zombie manga
    black gas: from what ive read it was good.
    world war z audio novel: the book doesnt do the tale nearly as much justice s this, actors like mark hamil shine in these roles, totally worth getting.
    s.d perrys resident evil novels are fantastic, the ones by that bloke however should eb avoided like a bad fan fiction.

    .

    For those of you with iTunes, you can download 10 or 11 chapters for free. Just look up World War Z in the podcasts.
