I own the Monster Island/Nation/Planet books but have yet to read them. People seem to either love or hate them.



You can "look inside" the novel on amazon.com and read some of the reviews here http://www.amazon.com/As-World-Dies-Z...
I also have a free zombie novella in first draft form up on Scribd. http://www.scribd.com/doc/2909104/As-... It ties into the As The World Dies Trilogy, but can easily stand alone.
I hope you enjoy!


David Wellington's books are pretty good as well as Dead Rising by Brian Keene.

PATIENT ZERO feautures Baltimore cop Joe Ledger who is recruited by a secret government organization to help stop a group of terrorists who have a plague that turns people into zombies.
It'll be in bookstores everywhere on March 3, and is available for pre-order online.

Hey Jonathan, I've heard the guys on the Mail Order Zombie podcast raving about a preview copy of your book. Been a while since I've read a zombie novel so I look forward to checking it out this spring.

I'm writing the second in the series (which doesn't have zombies but does have genetically engineered monsters).






I also HIGHLY recommend the Autumn series by David Moody. The Monster series....not so much. Zombies don't need to have special powers and be able to talk and think. They are no longer zombies at that point!!!! Sheesh!


Cheers!

I recently finished Raising Stony Mayhall and enjoyed it from beginning to end. It is told from the zombie's perspective...after all, zombies are just people to. Day by Day Armageddonis also on my list to read.



I just read your book Ghost Road Blues and it was so Amazing and terrifying!! I CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on the other two books in the Pine Deep series as well as all the other books you have written! Thanks for making some truly well written and scary books!

Monster Island is one of the Best I think!!!

Thats a zombie novel?


Looks interesting Leslie! Added it to my wishlist.

Great, thanks Jack - I've got I Zombie I on my (very long) TBR list. Might have to bump it up a little :)

You're very welcome Kat. Love those long TBR lists! I hope to get through mine before I'm nothing more than a zombie. ;-)

Looks interesting Leslie! Added it to my wishlist."
I did too Kat. And I agree with Jack, I also hope to get through my "to read" list before I become more than a zombie. :)

I highly, highly highly recommend the Eden series by Tony Monchinski. I've had the pleasure of reading all 3 books (I have a signed copy of Resurrection :-) ) and they are excellent. I also recommend Iain McKinnon's Domain of the dead, Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry (I still want to read the sequel!), White Flag of the Dead by Joseph Talluto (there were some minor flaws, but for the author's first novel attempt, it was great) and Apocalypse of the dead by Joe McKinney. (which was nominated for a Bram Stoker award in the same category as Rot and Ruin.)

I highly, highly highly recommend the Eden s..."
I've read all three of the White Flag of the Dead series, really enjoyed all of them, one of my personal favourites!


Two very valid observations! I actually rated America the Dead a little lower than the first two, but I think perhaps that's because it was a little less zombie, a little more survivor. And I was more in a zombie brain-fest kinda mood!
I agree he has a lot of potential, all the books have sucked me right in.

Well I did a reshuffle, broke a promise to myself, and read I Zombie I today. I enjoyed it, good to read from a different perspective but the twist took me by surprise! Will be purchasing My Zombie My once my credit card has recovered from this month's frenzy!

I'm glad you enjoyed it Kat! My Zombie My kicks it all up to 11, so I believe you'll enjoy it even more. Thank you so much for taking part in my little world.
Jack
