Zombie books

[wiltsu16]

Hi! im looking for zombie books, tell me some:)

[Andy]

the resident evil series of books are good :)

[darth los]

World War Z will be coming out on 9-16-06. Looks pretty good.

Get Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" graphic novel series, it's superb. Also, Download the first book of David Moody's series "Autumn", the price is right too; it's free.:)
Omnibucket's " Brainchild" anthology is worth a look and today I just got my copy of "The Undead" zombie anthology which looks to have some tasty stuff between it's covers.

Return of the Living Dead is great, by John Russo, and was turned into a screenplay, then a major motion picture.

Is it the same as the film or does it take itself more seriously as I've been told?

I jus finished The Undead : Anthology of the Dead, quite a good read it was. Ive also got The Rising to start and Autumn. Both got good reviews all round. Anthology was quite good and even had stories from the zombies point of view. Was quite interesting and a very good read :)

[creepntom]

reign of the dead & apocolypse end:reign of the dead

the prequel is due out this fall

[Deadman_Deluxe]

I am almost finished reading WORLD WAR Z.

It took me a while to get through, i still got a few pages to go ... but it is just as funny as the first book, just as good, and i would reccomend that you buy that when it is released (worldwide?) at the end of next month.

EDIT: You could also try the RESIDENT EVIL novel's. They share more with the movie's than the actual PS1/PS2 games ... so check them out IF you enjoyed/understood the movie angle.

[TheWalkingDude]

Ok not totally zombie books but does contain zombie stories....Nightmares and Dreamscapes...Stephen King..The story Home delivery....ALso the Story Cell is zombie type from King.....There is another one by king but i just cant remember it right at the moment but i will figure it out.

Sometimes They Come Back? (from the Night Shift collection of short stories?)

what!? they follow the games closely, im talking about the SD Perry novels, not those other 2. those are wank quite frankly.

[TheWalkingDude]

No it wasnt that one. It was from one of the collections though but it was more on an island and the zombies was caused by some space worms that went into the brains of the dead. I know sounds dumb but it was kinda good.

[wiltsu16]

I readed autumn and it was so great! it was very easy to read (Im Finnish), it was pretty scary too though :p

What about the Dawn of the Dead novel? How did that compare to the movie?

[FoodFight]

Here's the last required reading list that CrappingBear had for us.

WetWork -Philip Nutman
The Dead - Mark E. Rogers
Dead in the West - Joe R. Lansdale
I Am Legend - Richard Matheson
Mammoth Book of Zombies - ed. Stephen Jones
Stories of the Walking Dead - ed. Peter Haining
Ultimate Zombie - ed. Byron Preiss & John Betancourt.

It's an old list but he hasn't provided us with anything else for quite some time.

It adds some things that arent in the movie, but other than that it pretty much is the movie line for line. It's a good read for the few extras and the version I have has some stills from the movie bound into the middle of the book.

[Maitreya]

Hmmm.. I'm reading Autumn, haven't quite finished it yet, but I've enjoyed it so far...

It sort of reminds me of the Stand... With zombies...

[Danny]

yeah i recommend buying em all he does em cheap all 4 for 30 quid, im reading through AUTUMN:purification right now, i know i sound like im a chewlys gum guy working for moody but there my favourite books right now.:)

[Maitreya]
