Zombies Rule: A Book List (Part 1)

by The Undead Rat on June 19, 2009

Below are zombie novels and anthologies. Unfortunately I could not list every single zombie novel or anthology — however, I did try to provide a variety of zombie stories — from your typical slow zombies attacking en masse to the fast and intelligent zombies to zombies transforming humans into plants to zombie animals. You’ll find simple horror novels and social commentary cloaked as a zombie novel.

Most of all . . . you’ll find a lot of good reading.

Move over vampires, zombies are rising up to rule the horror world now.
