    Wow, thanks for the list. I've looked around for z'd novels a few times and I have some of these but I find it hard to find more if you don't know the specific name. It seems in a lot of the recommended lists that many of the same few books are always mentioned (lol, see post above ). Thanks again.

    Would you be so bold as to rank or mention your favourites?

    Zombie fiction seems to be one that I have trouble getting into. I enjoyed the first Joe Ledger book, but when following books strayed so far--I felt--from what the first novel brought that I lost interest. Maberry is a good writer though, and Joe Ledger has potential to be a really great character. Just something about the subject matter maybe.

    Bourne's Day by Day series started really strong as well, but falls apart in the third. He dropped what made the first book so good in favour of something more traditional, and he really didn't pull it off. I would have preferred to see him finish the series the way he'd started it instead of switching to a p.o.v. and style that he's obviously not comfortable with. At the same time it shows a willingness to take chances. He writes another book I'll pick it up.

    I've read close to half of those authors, and none of them really stick out in my mind. It's hard to find someone who writers really well, that has an interesting take on the genre, and is willing to commit to more than one book. Apparently, The Reapers Are The Angels by Alden Bell (Exit Kingdom is already out) is being turned into a series. I thought he had a pretty refreshing look at the genre, and had a great handle on the style he was writing in.

    Good list. I'm sure I'll pick up a couple of those titles.

    I have read several of those listed, but my favorites have been the Brian Keene books. 'The Rising' and its sequel 'City of the Dead' and then his other book 'Dead Sea'. They are REALLY good, and have a bit of a different twist to them. Kinda shocked no one has mentioned them yet.

    reasoning and fast zombies are a part of the WA world and possibly even the supernatural part too. even the talking part in some cases.

    with that being said, his book The Dead Sea are your standerd zombies.

    Check out freebooksy.com and bookbub.com. At least once a week they have at least one zombie book listed for free. I haven't read it yet, The Zombie Chronicals, Fat Vampire, The Secret Apocalypse, Zombie Fallout, The Dead, and the Da Vinci Code. Occasionally you get an awesome hit when they find a big name author or a popular title. (I read the Da Vinci Code some time ago and have it in hard back.)
