Oh yay! Lurrve a good chomp-series.
Under absolutely must-read brilliantly twisted and snide: Diana Rowland's "White Trash Zombie" series... truly fun, crazy entertaining, and I'd be amazed if anyone who reads doesn't adore the main character. I really dug Susan Dennard's "Something Strange & Deadly" series, too. Hic Fic zombies? Yes, please! One of my alltime fave zombie series.... 'Benny Imura' series by Jonathan Maberry. Rot & Ruin, Dust & Decay, etc. BRILLIANTLY done, and truly thought provoking. I love Jon Mayberry's character development. Loved his "Pine Deep' series, too. Also really loved the characters in Rhainnon Frater's 'As the World Dies series. I was a little hesitant to get the series, as it began as an internet thing, I think, so I assumed it would be rather poorly written schlock... Glad I got over my preconceptions,or I'd have missed out. Was very well done, and I think a pretty realistic depiction of what would happen if the dead really decided to go for a shamble in the real world. Gail Carriger's 'Parasol Protectorate aka Alexis Tarabotti' series is rather entertaining.. loved the flair of steampunk wrought throughout. As far as creatures, doesn't feature only zombies, but there are some big-fun zombie characters in midst of a whole slew of monsters in a rather riotous Londony historical fiction setting. Total fun. "Emma" on hallucinogens basically. Tipping in at one of my fave zombie romps, ever... Isaac Marion's 'Warm Bodies'. Just adore everything about this novel, author's voice in general. Yay, Isaac! Movie was rather well done, too. Cherie Priest's 'Clockwork Century' is a great series if you're a fan of steampunkery w zombie flair.... GORGEOUS worldbuilding! Old west! Walking Dead! Mecha-creations! Yum! There's a huge slew of others, but I tried to aim for some less common ones, in hopes of giving you some new selections. Happy reading! Rachel |

The Girl With All the Gifts is good. Both the book and the movie.
The little girl playing the child in the movie is terrific. |

Thoroughly enjoyed the book but have to say I was not a fan of the movie. But the world would be a boring place if we all agreed on everything right!

I loved both the book and the movie. And yes, the little girl in the movie was indeed brilliant.

I came here to say ‘The Girl with all The Gifts’ is the best Zombie book ever. I didn't realise there was a film. I see someone beat me.
Discworld has a zombie or two? I normally totally avoid Horror Genre. It's almost John Wyndham style as some of his are sort of Horror. |

I thought Last Ones Left Alive by Sarah Davis-Goff was excellent. Not traditional zombies, but near enough and very creepy.
I just finished Bobby Adair's Slow Burn series (already mentioned several years upthread) and it was terrific. The Survival Instinct series by Kristal Stittle (five books) was quite good. There's also the even more lengthy Green Fields series by Adrienne Lecter. I enjoyed Weep: The Irish Epidemic by Eoin Brady. It seems that there's a second book in the works but there were no details last time I checked. |

recommended zombie book
Loved Girl with all the Gifts and Boy on the Bridge, but also really loved a very different but heartwarming Raising Stony Mayhall by Daryl Gregory.
