I'm currently reading "The Dark Trilogy" by Patrick D'Orazio. It's an omnibus containing 3 novels as well as affiliated short stories (250k words in all). I'm only about half way through the first book but it's already killer. It's fairly standard survival horror fare so far but there are a few scenes that genuinely scared me, something that has pretty much never happened with a zombie novel. He just has a way with descriptions, especially in a scene where the characters come across some victims, that just absolutely chilled me.
I don't know if other epub retailers have it but it's only $5 on Amazon. It's a steal.
