ZOMBIE FICTION

"Read Zombie Fiction: Don't let a good brain go to waste." (Zombie pointing at juicy pink brain: "You gonna eat that?")

          After thoroughly saturating the adult horror market, zombies are now leaking into YA fiction. We just purchased Jonathan Maberry's Rot & Ruin and the sequel, Dust & Decay, so I thought it might be time to highlight zombies in the 'brary.

          Here's the list of zombie fiction I pulled together today for our display:

The Boy Who Couldn't Die by William Sleator

Cell by Stephen King

The Death Collector by Justin Richards

The Drum, the Doll, and the Zombie by John Bellairs

The Enemy by Charles Higson

"Forest of Hands and Teeth" series by Carrie Ryan

"Generation Dead" series by Dan Waters

My Rotten Life by David Lubar

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith

Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry ("Benny Imura" series)

Someone Comes To Town, Someone Leaves Town by Cory Doctorow

"Strange Angels" series by Lili St. Crow

Zombie Blondes by Brian James

Zombie World (graphic novel) by Mike Mignola (creator of "Hellboy")

Zombies Calling (graphic novel) by Faith Erin Hicks

ADDENDUM 1/20/2012

Two more titles to add, although we don't have them in our little library quite yet:

How To Be a Zombie by Serena Valentino

World War Z by Max Brooks

          Brad Pitt is starring in the movie version of World War Z. I think that's weird and sort of a surprising choice for him, but I read and liked the book.
