Do you enjoy zombie fiction?

[Suicycho]

Obviously, we enjoy zombies or we wouldn't be posting about DR.

But do you enjoy zombie fiction? Do you buy or collect zombie novels?

[krispy]

I dont have any novels on Zeds but that sounds interesting and something different from what i normally read. any suggestions?

i do have in my dvd collection:

all Resident Evil movies including the anima (T & G virus), Quarantine (modified rabies virus), 28 days & 28 weeks Later (rage virus), Dawn of the Dead (biblical), Return of the Living Dead (toxic spill), Dead Space (alien influence), Zombieland (human mad cow), Shaun of the Dead, Land of the Dead. i know i have a few more to get

Honestly I don't have any zombie fiction. I am borrowing World War Z from my brother-in-law at some point in the next couple of weeks though. Lots of zombie TV/movies though.

[Specter]

I have 7 volumes of the walking dead...

[Grell]

I have the zombie survival guide that I bring to DR games that I run. I also have WWZ, but I'm going to be selling it used. Not that it was a bad book, it just doesn't have any re-read value to me.

[krispy]

i just ordered Zombie Surivival Guide by Max Brooks and waiting for delivery

next will be World War Z

then 'You Might Be a Zombie and Other Bad News' by cracked.com & possibly 'the Zombie Autopsies'

[Beatmeclever]

Just bought and started to read "Star Wars Death Troopers." It seems pretty good so far.

i just read the plot . its going on the book list

[Gamer]

Somewhat depends on the mood at the time I guess and don't have alot of reading time anymore but do alot of audio books now have read or listened to:
Day by day armageddon series -first two books only didn't stay with it after the second book, it going sci-fi turned me off to it for some reason.
As the world dies
The walking dead
The morning star series -incomplete as author died writing last book but have heard the family got somebody else to finish it.
Death Troopers
WW Z
Tooth and nail
Rot and ruin
The zombie chronicles but never really got that much into it.
The living dead 1 and 2 compilations.
The rising but never got into it enough to read the sequel City of dead.

My brother sent me this one but I have yet to read it, while it's not exactly a zombie book.
Well here's a link to it.

[Arnie100]

Let's see...

The Morningstar Saga (damn good, can't wait for the next book)
Tooth And Nail
World War Z
Zombie Survival Guide
The Walking Dead (graphic novels ad dvd)

[Princedarkstorm]

Yes and I love Zombie manga . Especially High School of the Dead .

[Rockwolf66]

Monster Hunter Vendetta.

The hero of the story has angered a bunch of Old one worshiping cultists and he has to stop a Necromancer from distroying the world.

Don't just get the (animated) movie (soon to be a live-action film, by the way), go play the game if you have the console.

Man oh man do they get the concept of "story atmosphere" right!
(Especially if you play the 2nd one on the hardest difficulty -you can only save THREE times in the entire game, and no checkpoints -it REALLY makes you feel like you're trying to survive!)

[Princedarkstorm]

Maybe World War Z ? or if you can find the Walking Dead if you like black and white comics or even High School of the Dead .Or Pride and Preduice and Zombies [sorry for porr spelling today . New eyedrops

[Zenvis]

Pride and Prejudiced and Zombies is my new book. Its a nice read I especially like chapter 38.

[Princedarkstorm]

Good novel . i am hoping the season two of Walking Dead arrives soon GRIN

[Razzinold]

I own some zombie movies (pretty much the same as the ones already listed), as for books, my wife has gotten them for me as presents (Christmas/birthday because she knows I like that kind of stuff) I have World War Z, I have a cool choose your own adventure book (not for kids) about surviving a zombie outbreak. Can't remember the title right now and I 'm at work, and another book I can't remember the title of but its a journal that was found and its written by a doctor who studied zombies (habits, rate of decay), it had pictures in it and sketches. It was short but cool. My wife just bought me Apocalypse of the Dead by Joe McKinney without realizing it was a sequel so I haven't read it yet, she is going to grab Dead City (Joe McKinney) next time she heads to the mall.

[Pepsi Jedi]

I've got a pretty big collection of Zombie fiction and movies both. *nods*

[Princedarkstorm]

Anyone see the DEADLIEST WARRIOR Zombie vs Vampire ?

[batlchip]

Anyone see the DEADLIEST WARRIOR Zombie vs Vampire ?

Yes. It was good and not to surprising to who would win.

[Hendrik]

Hey there,

it has already been mentioned: World War Z ... awesome book ... but check out the audiobook version. It is even better than the written version already is. Oral history is best when told not read!

Cheers
Hendrik

[Princedarkstorm]

I think so . Waiting the movie version of it

[Razzinold]

Well I can now add Flesh Eaters by Joe McKinney to my collection. It was a good read, sort of a prequel to Dead City, the events that took place in Dead City (in San Antonio) happen because of a flood that happened in Houston. Flesh Eaters describe the events of the flood in Houston that started everything, but during the book they mention the outbreak in San Antonio (Dead City) and I thought that was cool. It's a good light read.

Has anyone else seen Dead Set? It's a British t.v. mini-series (so non-Brits may not have heard of it), detailing a zombie invasion as seen from the perspective of the contestants and producers of the reality show Big Brother. Pretty damn cool: at times hilarious, gory, poignant and bleak as hell.

Another piece of Brit zombie fiction that I haven't gotten around to watching yet is Colin - a film told from the perspective of one of the zombies, the eponymous Colin. Supposedly it had a budget of fifty pounds (!). Think I'll watch it this weekend; I'll report back if it's any good.

[Shawn Merrow]

I just finished Boneshaker by Cherie Priest a few days ago. Its a steampunk book set in Seattle (1887) and does have Zombies in it. A good read and one I recommend.

Colin sounds like this movie my wife and I just watched called Ahhh! Zombies!! It's told from the zombie point of view. Whenever people see the zombies the film is in black and white, but when they are hanging out and talking the movie is in colour. Very odd movie, neat idea, IMO poorly executed.

I just checked Wikipedia, in case it was the same film, but released under a different name overseas: turns out it's not, and apparently I was wrong about the budget - it only cost 45 pounds!

Oh, and I forgot about one of my favourite zombie flicks, Braindead (released as Dead Alive in North America). Directed by Peter Jackson and widely regarded as one of the goriest films of all time. How he got the Lord of the Rings gig after this, I don't know.

[Razzinold]

Just finished reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I never knew Jane Austen was such a talented horror writer, she could King, Koontz, etc a run for their money!

Now I'm 52 pages into The Walking Dead:Rise of the Governor by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga.
