Best Zombie Books

I've already reviewed this book here in relation to post-apocalyptic novel themes, but I have to mention this book again because it's simply my very favorite zombie novel of all times (and I've read quite a few so far).

This book has become a true classic both in the post-apocalyptic and the zombie novels genre. The story is quite interesting in that it's written in a rather journalistic style (that is truly engaging) in that if follows and talks to people who have survived the zombie war. The world has been overtaken by zombies, and but merely a handful of people have survived.

If you're scared of zombies per se, don't worry as this book doesn't really features them. They are instead mentioned by the interviewee so that the horrors of what zombies inflicted to humanity are given to you second hand.

It is such a wonderful book that I can only warmly recommend it, it's seriously good!\

Written by the same author who also wrote World War Z, The Zombie Survival Guide is another awesome books on .. you guessed: zombies. Specifically about the zombie apocalypse. If the zombies took over the world, how prepared are you to survive?

Written in a rather humorous tone, this book makes many people think: oh boy, I'm not so prepared for a zombie attack as I thought I were!. It is funny, entertaining and left me really chuckling a few times. Some readers discarded the book because it scares people into believing zombies really exist. What I say instead is just forget about the reality for a few hours, immerse yourself in the book and enjoy it for what it is: a highly entertaining, funny look at an alternate world where zombies could indeed, take over the world. What would YOU do to protect yourself?

If you're a zombie fan, you must have seen The Walking Dead TV show (it's already on Season 2). As with any good Tv series, the graphic novels have already been written and they can be bought online. Being a zombie fanatic, of course I had to buy them (all 15 of them and the Survivors' Guide), and let me tell you, if you get them, you won't be disappointed.

Not only the books are fabulous, but the art is also excellent. Any comic book collector is proud to own this entire series. If you get it, I suggest you get the whole series in one go, else you'll be left salivating for the rest of the books while waiting impatiently for them to arrive...at some point (like me - big mistake!)

Manhattan is taken over by zombies after an epidemic has all but killed the human population. The story takes place 6 weeks after the epidemic.

The book is highly original (which is refreshing, considering the many books on zombies that have popped up recently) and I think you'll really enjoy it. While I don't want to give the plot away, let's just say that not all zombies are alike. Some can think and even speak.

This is the very first book in his zombie series, followed by Monster Nation and Monster Planet, each of them worthwhile reading, especially if you're fan of the new emerging Zompocalyptic genre.

If you think that zombie novels should be all grim, full of horror and bad tension, you're way behind the times. Fact is, zombies can be fun - and ARE fun in this truly hilarious book. It is just so out there that there's no way that you wont' feel something very strong about it: either love it or hate it with a vengeance.

Basically the plot is pretty much the same as in the original Jane Austen book. With a couple of exceptions, of course. Afterall, it's a zombie novel. Many things that were kind of puzzling in the original novel make much more sense now. The way people acted, the hidden agendas, all will be revealed in this truly enjoyable novel that doesn't take itself too seriously. And you shouldn't do it either.

A true classic by now, this book by Stephen King really does his writing justice. I loved it (but then I love all Stephen King's books). It is about a family moving to a small town, about dead children and a pet cemetery, and a scary atmosphere that will really give you sleepless nights unless you're already used to Stephen King's writing - and maybe even then. I can safely say that this is one of his scariest books to date. It's truly a horror book of the classic type.

If you own a cat, you might want to skip reading this book. You'll definitely never look at cats the same way again.

Oh and if you're a goth, as someone over at Goodreads so well said 'you'll become 5% gother'. Nuff said.

Written in 2010, this book is about the year 2040. It is not a horror book as the book cover might make you think. It's about how zombies - and bloggers have infiltrated politics (scary thought, especially the second one).

Because I don't really like politics, I couldn't place this book as high up on my top list as I wanted. But I know that many people loved it. However, to its credit, it's quite tense, a keep-you-at-the-edge-of-your-seat type of book. If you thought politics is boring, think again - after you read this book.

Also the book is rather sad. It's a very sad look at humanity, one that we could actually live without. But all in all, it's a good book, worthwhile reading.

Here is a great zombie thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. The book is written in a journal style writing, written by a military guy (a US combat pilot) who is stuck in the burbs of the living dead. It's a rather quick read at around 200 or so pages, but quite engaging. The time will fly very fast when reading this book, especially if you like thrillers and zombies.

I personally like to read diaries (I'm a nosy person) so this book really spoke to me. I was right there along with the main character who wrote about his encounters with zombies every single day. Not as gory as a horror novel, still scary enough to keep you interested until you finish the last page.

This is the first book in a new zombie horror series, one that I really enjoyed reading. Mary is a teenager with her typical problems, down at the river, when the sirens go off. The zombies, also called the Unconsecrated, are kept outside of the village by a chain-link fence that keeps the last part of non-infected humanity still intact. Unfortunately Mary doesn't want to live forever within the confinements of the fence in the village, so she and a few of her friends get out and...then the horrors start...

It's strange that this is one of those books that you either love or hate. It got lots of mixed reviews at Amazon and I had fun reading them all - because those who loved the book, were right. But also those who hated the book, were tight as well. Read it for yourself and see what I mean.

So far we've talked about post-apocalyptic books, about horror novels, even romantic novels. How about a police action thriller for a change?

When I read this book, I had a visual image in my mind of Jack Bauer playing this (Kiefer Sutherland from 24). The main role of this book fits the character of Joe Ledger perfectly, in my opinion. It's full of action and suspense, so the plot never gets boring.

There is everything in it: a global terrorist thread, zombies, bio weapons, a secret agency from the government, and of course the irresistible action hero who will kick some serious zombie butt. Recommended if you like this cookbook of plot and suspense.

I Zombie I is another great zombie apocalypse novel Relatively recently published (in 2011), it has quickly picked up in popularity as more and more people got to read it.

Jacob Plummer is a reporter who (I do have to give that much away) turns into a zombie. And he is the one to tell the story. It's an awesome one, let me tell you. The book genre is a thriller that never gets really boring. And this is why I urge you to buy the next two books in the series as well, as if you start reading this, you'll want to continue without even one day of delay in between.

I actually had a few giggles throughout as well, something that broke at times the suspense and let me breath out as well. Great read(s).

This book is a zombie story with a twist. It is fun, (hilarious at times) and if you like the dark comedy genre (and zombies of course), you'll be in great company! The story is about a newly created zombie who feels alienated in a world that don't consider zombies human (how dare they!).

But it's not all comedy. You have romance, action, more action, gore, pretty much everything you want tin a good zombie read to keep you occupied for hours. And if you don't like zombies, maybe this book will change your mind about them.

Dead Sea is the latest zombie novel written by Brian Keene - and dare I say the best so far. The action starts right from the beginning and keeps on throughout the book. The plot is rather typical: something (or somebody) turns people into zombies who turn others into their fellows as well. But not only humans turn into zombies - also animals. And this is where the plot thickens...

Read it, it's good. And if you've read the previous two zombie novels by Brian Keene, let me know in the comments section which one was your favorite (mine was this book).

This book is both a zombie novel and a dystopia novel. I have to warn you, this book is mostly for YA (young adults) who love romances, paranormal fun and stories with zombies. However that doesn't mean that you shouldn't read it. It's really a fun read, and while i haven't read the rest of the series yet, I will pick them up soon.

The first in The Hollows series, this book is about Remy, a young heroine who really kicks some butt. She is strong headed and determined to find her small brother, Max King.

If you've loved The Hunger Games (while that one is not about zombies), I have a feeling you will like this one as well.
