Any suggestions for zombie novels I should read?

[Dylan]

Hi, I'm new to the group and I'm looking for some good zombie novels. Any suggestions? Just name a bunch of great zombie novels and their authors. Thanks! :D

[Jonathan]

Here are some solid zombie reads:

Dead Sea by Brian Keene
Dead City by Joe McKinney
Among Madmen by Jim Starlin
World War Z by Max Brooks
The Walking Dead (graphic novels) by Robert Kirkman
The Return of the Living Dead by John Russo (an old novel written by the guy who co-wrote the NOTLD screenplay. This was released before the original Dawn of the Dead movie).

Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks
Resident evil: Umbrella Conspiracy by S.D. Perry
Resident evil: Caliban cove by S.D. Perry

Monster Island, Monster Nation and Monster Planet by David Wellington

I've heard a lot about the Monster Island series. I'm going to have to pick them up soon.

[Michelle]

Dying to Live by Kim Paffenroth, Day by Day Armageddon by J.L. Bourne, History is Dead Anthology published by Permuted Press. Take at look at permutedpress.com. They specialize in zombie literature.

Max Brooks' books are a definite.

Z.A. Recht's Morningstar Saga books. The second one is much better than the first, but I recommend both.

David Moody's Autumn series was top notch.

Len Barnhart's Reign of the Dead books.

Brian Keene's The Rising. I honestly recommend skipping the sequel because the end was crap in my opinion.

Simon Clark's Blood Crazy is terrific.

Gregory Solis' Rise And Walk was decent.

Joe McKinney's Dead City wasn't bad.

I read Monster Island online. Go to the site here: http://www.brokentype.com/monster/

Well I feel kinda bad know, I just bought City of the Dead by Brian Keene. I didn't know there was a first one called Rising. I'm going to take it back and buy Rising.

You can read the whole book online? Or just parts of the chapters?

Michelle, nice pick on Dying To Live. I enjoyed that one.

[Angie]

It looked to me like you can read the whole book online.. go to the link and you will see it.

[Chloe]

Nice, thanks Acknud! I know what I'm going to be reading today.

Try APEX, written by me. It's non-stop zombie action. Think Walking Dead meet Blackhawk Down. I'm sure you will like it. It can be found on Amazon, B&N, and Authorhouse.com.

I just finished reading The Last Overseer and loved it. It's really one of the freshest take on the zombie genre in a while!

[Dawn]

Ex Heroes by Peter Clines. Superheroes and Zombies!!!! one of my favorites, and this is just book one! :)

Try Necropolis Now by Vincenzo Bilof. I am reading the second book of this series and can't put it down.
