Sup /zom/, simple question: what are some good zombie books to read?

I lik the Day by Day Armageddon series for what it was, even if the third book was a little phoned in. There's also the Plague of the Dead, I've only read the first book, but I liked it a little more.

So, has anyone got any good zombie books to add? Oh, besides WWZ.

Not big on zombie books, but a friend recommended "Death Troopers", which is basically a zombie outbreak on a ship in the Star Wars universe.

Read a few chapters and it was pretty good.

There is no right and wrong. Only the living and the dead.

Zombie Fallout series is awesome!

Try Dead Sea by Brian Keene, Outbreak starts in NY. Story takes place in Baltimore with a rather unusual protagonist for a zombie story. Decent read 3-5 hours if you read like I do. 300 something pages.

Plague of the Dead starts off great, and the trilogy is awesome until you get to the 3rd book. Halfway through the author died, and his friend finished his book. That made the ending horribly fucked up, and generally destroyed what should have been an epic story.

However, I loved World War Z. Patient Zero (sequels coming soon I think), the Joe McKinney books (Dead City, Apocalypse of the Dead, and Mutated), Tooth and Nail, The Return Man, and The Infection are also good.

Lastly, if you haven't, the Infected trilogy is incredible. Not zombies, but I just finished Pandemic and it was amazing.

As far as zombie literature you often need to take a few steps back in order to move forward. A few I have found enjoyable are as follows.
Book of the Dead by John Skipp Craig Spector (collection of short stories)
Wet Work by Philip Nutman (black ops team abroad when outbreak happens)
The Dead by Mark E. Rodgers (standard fare with a demonic twist)
Dead City by Joe Mckinney (1st of the Dead World Series a virus breaks out in Texas after hurricanes)
Down the Road by Bowie V. Ibarra (1st of series set in Texas again survival drama guy travelling the state trying to get home.)
Dying to Live by Kim Paffenroth (1st of series survival drama where the dead are the least of your troubles)
Autum by David Moody (1st of series slow starter heavy on drama less on gore picks up halfway in)
The Rising by Brian Keene (1st of series another demon possession series with a twist beware of animals)
Day By Day Armageddon by J.L. Bourne (1st of kinda series, stick with the first one)
Zombies and Shit by Carlton Mellick III (OK this is just a fun read, survival show meets Return of the Living Dead)
The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor by Robert Kirkman, Jay Bonansinga (1st of series essentially the governors back story a bit lacklustre unless you are a fan of the series)

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a bit repetative but very good as it's written in the exact style of the original.
