World War Z tells the story of the world's desperate battle against the zombie threat with a series of first-person accounts "as told to the author" by various characters around the world.

Monster Island
By David Wellington
"It's one month after a global disaster. The most "developed" nation of the world have fallen to the shambling zombie masses. Only a few pockets of humanity survive...
In New York City, the dead walk the streets, driven by an insatiable hunger for all things living. From the other side of the planet, a small but heavily armed group of schoolgirls-turned-soldiers comes in search of desperately needed medicine, with a former UN weapons inspector as their local guide. They think they are prepared for anything. On Monster Island they will find that there is something worse even than undead." - Book description

Monster NationBy David Wellington
"Something horrible is growing in the dark. A wave of cannibalism and fear is sweeping America's heartland, spreading carnage and infection in its wake. Captain Bannerman Clark of the National Guard has been tasked with an impossible mission: discover what is happening - and then stop it before it annihilates Los Angeles.
In California he discovers a woman trapped in a hospital overrun with violent madmen. She may hold the secret to the epidemic but she has lost everything - even her name.
David Wellington's first novel, Monster Island, explored a world overcome by horror and the few people strong enough to survive. Now he takes us back to where it all began - to the dead the dead began to rise." - Book description
--------------------------------------------------------------
Monster Planet By David Wellington
"Set twelve years after the shambling masses have overrun Manhattan, America, and the world, Monster Planet, is the mind-blowing conclusion to the Monster Trilogy. Oceans of blood, scattered limbs, wanton violence, and general mayhem abound, along with revived mummies, a scheming Druid, and David Wellington's signature brand of cool high-tech weaponry and sly humor - zombie as the ultimate consumers.
What do the undead want, aside from Fresh meat? does the steadily diminishing number of humans who have somehow managed to survive over a decade of living hell stand a chance on a planet where they've been reduced to the status of prey? It all ends here, on Monster Planet" - Book description

I Am Legend
By Richard Matheson
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.

A World Without Us
By Alan Weisman
This 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A 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...

The Living Dead: A 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

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.
