Hey Ghouls,

A few months back I started a thread about great, or at least werewolf novels and you all came through in the clutch. Now I do the same thing for Zombie fiction. I have read Keene's books, King's Cell, along with Bryan Smith's truly poor Deathbringer. If any of you have any interesting suggestions please pass them on! It would be apprecaiated.

Here you go, man. It's the list

World War Z is the best one I've read recently. It's a must. Also,

Xombies : Walter Greatshell
The Naming of Parts : Tim Lebbon
Reign of the Dead I & II : Len Barnhart
Night of the Loving Dead : Futch & Newman

And as I said in another thread, I'm going to be starting Monster Nation. The 2nd book in a series by David Wellington.

Look for Dead Heat by Del Stone Jr. It was the winner of The 1996 International Horror Guild (IHG) Award for Best First Novel and nominated for The 1996 Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel. It's pretty short, really cool and has some awesome illustrations in it. The main protagonist, Hitch, is a visual just as cool as Ghostrider ever was. He's a partially skeletal zombie biker with a meathook on a chain as his weapon of choice.

Read the reviews and I guarantee you'll want the book. Mr. Green

And I second the suggestion to get Book of the Dead 1 and 2. One of the stories in there, Lansdale's "On the Far Side of the Cadillac Desert with Dead Folk," has to have the coolest name of any story ever!

I hear The Zombie Survival Guide is excellent.

I'm picking it up soon.

World War Z is a fantastic book. Basically an unofficial expansion on the Romero zombieverse with the same intelligent shades and dark humor.

Worth a purchase without a doubt.

Pontypool Changes Everything by Tony Burgess.

One of the strangest zombie novels you will ever read. I mean it!

Deadsea by brian keene is good, its his newest, dunno if you read it but if you liked The Rising, City of the dead, Ghoul or any of his other books you should enjoy it.

Agreed. I really liked The Dead Sea, as well. A very quick read.
