I Am Legend by Richard Matheson is really the grandaddy of modern zombie tales (especially since George Romero has said that it provided the inspiration for Night Of The Living Dead. Also: please, for the love of god, ignore all film adaptations of I Am Legend).
One man, alone, trying to survive in a sea of the undead.
In the book, the infected are called vampires, but they're also pretty zombie-like. Better, Matheson has some fantastic science going on that provides a plausible explanation for it all.
