You'll dig em they are pretty sweet, also if you want a good Christmas book check out The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore, It has Well a border-line retard angel, Zombies, a dead Santa, A talking Fruit Bat, A woman that still think she is the Xena type character she played in a few B movies, and the town Sheriff that is supposed to keep it all together is a hopless pot head. I laughed my ass off at this book it is great. If you like that one check out Pratctical Demonkeeping also by Chris Moore or Gil's All Fright Diner by A. Lee Martinez. In Gil's a pair of travelers, Duke and Earl who happen to be a Vamp and a werewolf, stop to get a bite to eat at a diner in the middle of nowhere and end up fighting off some zombies and trying to save the world from armageddon and a witch that know the power of pig-latin. I know it sound weird but it was really funny and had some good monster stuff in it as well. Enjoy guys.

I am really looking forward to picking up World War Z and Cell, I have heard good things about both. I loved the Zombie Survival Guide it was great the way it was written like a military manual. I have heard that Brad Pitts production company has picked up the rights for World War Z but I haven't heard anything else about it.

Are the three Eric Brown books a series, or are they stand alone storeies?

Also, I have read the Zombie survival guide and it is great. I would recommend it to anyone, but I haven't been able to read World War Z yet.

Wow I have got some great titles to check out after reading this thread.

Anybody here read any of Max Brooks' books? I have read both The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z. And I highly recommend them both though TZSG might not be for everyone. Probably more for the hard core zombie fanatic.

Hey Leon and gang,
I loved The Rising as well. It's one of the best zombie books out there. And if you like Brian Keene, He and I are spotlighted in the upcoming issue of Insideous Reflections. I am pretty excited about it. I just got a sneak peek at the article today and they used a few qoutes from me. I mean who wouldn't be excited to be featured along side Keene right?

I'll be sure to check out that issue of Insideous Reflections upon it's release. Glad to see you around these parts Eric.

Right on!!! Eric Brown responding to my topic how sweet is that. I have been trying to find a copy of The Wave for a few months now but my local book stores just don't have it. And now I have a few more zombie books to look for.

And dang it, who could forget to mention John Skipp's Book of the Dead. That anthology was one of the BEST collection of zombie tales ever published. It had Stephen King, Joe R. Lansdale, Doug Winter, Robert McCammon, etc.

Other great zombie books- Blood Crazy by Simon Clark, Dead in the West by Joe R. Lansdale, all of Len Barnhart's Reign of the Dead books, David Moody's Autumn series (which you can download some of for free off his site) and (cough. ..ahem) The Queen, Cobble, and The Wave by (you guessed it) me.
