Anyone know of an Irish zombie author?

[Netanella]

Hey there zombie fans,

I need to find a book to meet a reading challenge - an author of Irish descent. Are there any zombie fiction authors out there that that fit this bill?

Thanks,
N

Well, I found someone named Darren Shan on Amazon...he's Irish and has a zombie series called "Zom-B". I've not read any of his work, though.

Thanks! I didn't realize Shan was Irish.

I'm familiar with Darren Shan's Cirque du Freak series, a YA vampire series. I believe there's a movie out there from the first or second book of the series. (Yammy would approve - none of the vampires sparkle.)

I'll look into his zombie series...

Zom-B was quite fun! I read the sequel as well. There are a few more out there.

Awesome! Nice to meet you, Misty.

The other day I went to the local evil empire big-box store and picked up a green shirt for my husband so he could wear for St. Patrick's Day with the kids. The only one in his size said "0% Irish", so I grabbed it, feeling all proud of myself.

I bring it home and show it to him, and he tells me, "You didn't remember my dad's family is Irish."

Damn - what a dumbass I am!

Ian McClellan is a great zombie author with Irish roots.

Hi Netanella, Season of the Dead is partially set in Dublin, Ireland and one of the authors is definitely Irish (me) Hope I haven't posted too late for your challenge.

I am an American of almost pure Irish descent and even toured Ireland. I just finished my first zombie novel.

Thanks for the recommendation, Paul. My challenge was in March, and I ended up with Darren Shan's Zom-B, which was really good.

"Season of the Dead" looks good, so I will add it to my list and maybe go with the "red cover" angle for this month. Thanks!

Hey Luke, thanks for the rec! Do you mean this?

Wayne Simmons fits the bill. He's the author of zombie books, including:Flu and Drop Dead Gorgeous

No that is a dark romance. Euphoria-Z is my zombie novel out on May 12.

Okay, I was wondering. It's not on goodreads yet, which might explain my inability to find it. Looking forward to seeing it come out!

[Paul]

Well it's definitely red, Netanella! :D

The Estuary by Derek Gunn is an Irish zombie novel with a great set up involving a long lost Nazi submarine being found in the sands of an Irish village.
