Review of Rise Again copyright 2010 by ZombieEatsYou.

Never been a fan of zombie books or films, too sqeamish for the films and never seen a decent book, but this review may change my view - thanks

I was about to ask "why are you reading this thread then?" before I got to your last sentence.

Be warned though that Rise Again is very descriptive in its gore.

Strangely I can do written gore.....I love Dean R Koontz, Stephen King, Richard Laymon etc but cannot watch it on screen.............I blame the music and those pesky kinds that wander into dark forests

I picked this up as well. Thanks for the tip Isram.

It's not bad, well written, epic scenes. The only complaint I have is that after you've gotten to "an end" it's hard to get back to the last place you made a choice with doing a bunch of "go to>previous view."

Saw a new book at the store you might want to check out’ “The Zombie Autopsies” a novel by Steven Schlozman with an interesting medical twist. It is written in the form of a medical journal/diary. It looks like it is hand written and even has cool medical style illustrations of the internal workings of the zombies. Dr. Stanley Blum is a neuroscientist looking for the medical causes of zombieism and is himself already infected, as is two-thirds of mankind, with Ataxic Neurodegenerative Satiety Deficiency Syndrome (ANSD), the virus that makes flesh-eating zombies. Blum heads to an island off the coast India to dissect/vivisect captured zombies; in the hope of isolating the pathogen before it kills him. The science seems plausible and is pretty easy to understand. It doesn’t have a really “meaty” plot, Ha ha pun intended, but Schlozman gives us a pretty grisly view of the zombie apocalypse and a surprising explanation for the virus's origin.

- The Zen of Zombie: Better Living Through the Undead was a fairly fun little read. Not a "serious" zombie book, by any means.
- As mentioned before, J.L. Bourne's Day by Day Armageddon series (3rd book is coming soon) is a fun romp.
- After his passing, Z.A. Recht's Morningstar Saga will come to a close with the 3rd (and final) entry, Survivors, which is set to release this December.
- I really enjoyed Kim Paffenroth's Dying to Live.
- Another book that I found fun was Bowie Ibarra's Down the Road, and On the Last Day.

I like "Night of the Living Trekkies" - zombie outbreak during a Star Trek convention. Didn't think much when I started reading it but it was surprisingly good. Heard about "Zen of Zombie" - might have to pick that up. I just finished a revision with my zombie book so we'll see how that goes.

Because of this thread I picked up the first of Rhianna Frater's books. The story was good, but the editing and proofing was so terrible that I probably won't continue with the series.

WilliamVitka · 03-28-2011, 05:30 PM

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.
