I Am LegendBy Richard Matheson
A World Without Us By Alan WeismanThis book is great for learning about how the world will react to no Human Up-Keep. Important to know so you don't go into a house that won't help. It is documented in years going to 10,000 years.
The Living Deadby VariousA collection of zombie short stories from a variety of authors in the science-fiction/fantasy/horror vein, all selected and edited by John Joseph Adams, who also put together another great collection of short stories, Wastelands, featuring stories of the Apocalypse. This collection (the zombie one) features stories about every type of zombie I have heard of and many more that I haven't. While some are a little different than what you'd expect, it is by far an awesome collection of stories. I highly recommend this book, as well as the other mentioned, as it features a subject related to ours. -McSkullcracken --------------------------------------------------------------
Day by Day Armegedon by J.L. BourneThe author is an active duty naval aviator. This self- published novel, written as a journal of an anonymous survivor whom mirrors the author, is a stunning and action filled adventure. Due to its early popularity, the book has been reissued and is available at Amazon.com or the Barnes and Nobles website. (A second bookis being written). -------------------------------------------------------------- Field Guide to the Apocalypse
by Meghann Marco
Movie survival skills for the end of the world. This humorous and informative book looks at the concept of surviving the end of the world by using tried and true methods from movies. Divided into three parts : The false utopia, the neo medieval world and the advanced technological dystopia, the author covers all the bases in post-apoc. survival, based on films we have all seen before.Special note to p.87re. ZOMBIES
By Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith Now here is a book for those of us with a traditional austere sense of self (the whole three of us) as well those of us who love anything to do with kicking zombie ass (all 4 million of us). This is a classic mash up Jane Austen's traditional romance novel with a twist, the newly added cast of undead wandering around the country side. Roughly 75% of the text is Jane Austen's while the remaining 15% includes everything from villages burning to the ground due to the 'unmentionals' to differing ninja fighting tactics. Definately worth a look at.
First published in 1954, this book inspired 4 movies, but the real value is in the descriptions of living in an abandoned city. The plague that sweeps the country is not a zombie plague, but the situation followed is not all that different from any zombie survival challenge - stay alive when others want you dead. Live on food you can find, grow, or hunt. Face your fears. Deal with loneliness. And work on your aim...This book is truly a masterpiece. As well as being superbly written, this work inspired George Romero to create his first Night. In short, we owe the modern zombie's existence to this novel. I HIGHLY recommend this. Free, online series of zombie and horror novels from David Wellington: Monster Island, Monster Nation, Monster Planet, and the newest Plague Zone. Also available in standard offline book form. --------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------- Cell by Stephen KingA truly excellent piece by a legendary author, this book has zombies spring from a terrible source: cell phones. Imagine that, anyone on a cell phone suddenly becomes a zombie. The crazy running kind. And, this being Stephen King, there are of course a number of twists to make the situation worse. Every zombie fan should read this book! And don't be fooled, you may find that these zombies have a little more about them...
