    I know that it's probably hard to come up with a zombie book that has something "different" in it. But I prefer the traditional zombie books.

    David Wellington's "Monster" books have traditional zombies but also have a similar "supernatural" theme to Brian Keene's books. I just finished Monster Nation and it's my favourite so far, as it deals with the start of the epidemic.

    Really loved Dead Sea, highly recommend it. I read it after City Of The Dead & it was nice to have an old fashioned zombie novel to lose myself in.

    Eh, I thought that both of them were good. The whole possessed bodies was an interesting take on it, and I still liked the interviews in WW Z. I think alot of the initial interviews, at are likely to be the boring ones, are very interesting because they are the ones that give you a clue as to why things went to Hell so fast with political rangling and lies and such running amock everywhere. I can see how the interview style could get old and be somewhat hard to read at times, but to be honest I think he holds really true to Romero overall compared to other books, although he does have it being a virus, but that is sort of understated in the WW Z book I believe.

    A book Called The Dead by some guy named Steve Somthing-or-other. Was basically Brian Keene's The Rising long before Briane Keene wrote The Rising. Better though IMOHO.

    Just got done with Dying to Live, by Kim Paffenroth. Thumbs up. Very short, though (only 190 pages).
