Zombie Books

I was wondering which Zombie Novels and Comic collections you guys would recommend. I have The Walking Dead books and World War Z. I was looking to find some more fiction and non-fiction written about Zombies / Zombie Apocalypse. I wanted to know what the fans of the genre would recommend. Is the Autumn series good? Thanks

I would recommend Plague of the Dead: The Morningstar Strain, and Twilight of the Dead. Monster Island and Monster Nation are also readable, but Monster Planet took a turn for the stupid in my opinion.

I quite liked Dead Sea. The Book of the Dead by Skip and Spector is great. Cell, by Steven King starts out great.

Day By Day: Armageddon. I read the first chapter here... http://www.tacticalunderground.us/ ...and I was sold! I ordered the actual novel before Christmas but it's still not shown up yet...I'm assuming that it's an import (to the UK) hoping it turns up soon.

Reign Of The Dead City Of The Dead Cell Zombie Survival Guide The Rising I know of more but can't think of them right now.

If you're looking for action, I wouldn't recomend Autumn, or at least the first book in the series. The visualization and mood setting was astonishing, but aside from that, the rest of the book went really slow with next to nothing happening after the world dies and the dead rise. Stay away from Xombies, it's only good until page 100, then it just gets really stupid and slow. The Rising is very good. Very depressing situation with next to no hope set in the mood.

gotta say the dead anthologies by skipp and spector are the pinnacle of zombie fiction...or most of the stories, at least. there's already been like 3 threads devoted to this topic, though, so check out the search feature.

so far as fiction goes, definitely world war z and the zombie survival guide. non fiction i'd recommend the serpent and the rainbow by wade davis. its gives a pretty good insight into voodoo and "real" zombies and the religious/narcotic origins of the creatures.

The Night Boat by Robert McCammon.

I would recommend the novelizations of the Resident Evil video games by S.D. Perry. If your a fan of the games, they make for great reads...lots of background info on characters and she does her best to explain stuff that may not have made too much sense in the games. Much zombie gore too!

The Rising is very good. Very depressing situation with next to no hope set in the mood True, but considering the situations in the book there was not supposed to be. There was hope, but it is not where you expect it to come from. It was an interesting take on the zombies too. that and City of the Dead are two of the best books that I have read in a while to be honest.

Whew, Rising had too much of a cliff hanger ending for my tastes. City of the Dead was just plain depressing at the end. But, yeah, they were pretty good.

any body want the rising and city of the dead by brian keene and also zombie survival guide? if you pay the shippin they are yours. i think we should start something like this... someone reads a book and ships it to the next person and vise versa. any takers?

Day by Day Armageddon, Plague of the Dead: The Morningstar Strain and World War Z are my top three.
