Hi everyone,
First time posting in this thread, but I spent most of last night reading through all the great suggestions (and looking up copies, wherever I could). I'm surprised that no one has mentioned The Passage by Justin Cronin yet. (Purchased as ePub from google ebooks but I'm sure you can find this novel elsewhere).
It's a first novel, and a promising new series, that includes elements of horror, post-apolcalyptic world building, and includes a bit of The Standish magical realism. The main focus of the book revolves around a unique blend of creatures that are zombie-vampire hybrids. When reading it, I thought of the critters more like zombies than vampires but I suppose one can say that they may lean more to the vampy side.
I enjoyed the book immensely and am looking forward to the sequel.
I hope everyone is safe and working on their zombie plans!
