I have seen a bunch of RESIDENT EVIL based novels...but I seriously doubt that they are books to take in consideration.

I can't find the other one but there were definitely two because I linked to one of them in the other.

The writing was kinda bad, the characters were pretty much all the same, and there were many parts that were just cliche or too much pop-culture like for what I like. Other than that it was great heh. No really, I enjoyed it though.

Uh World War Z. Sorry.

Reading both those (World War Z and Zombie Survival Guide) got me kinda paranoid though. It was funny. I slept with a crowbar beside me and considered stocking up on canned goods.

[QUOTE=karbunkle;943185]I'v been driving my brother into work at 3 in the morning all week and getting there goes through this wooded area
I keep thinking what would I do if a zombie horde all of a sudden came out and I had to drive off fast and wondering if my window is too far down for someone to reach in and grab me[/QUOTE]

this area still bugs me
I always make sure the windows are up and doors locked going through there

CELL by Stephen King. I didn't finish it, though. I should finish it. Did anyone finish it?

If you read comics, Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman is great. If you want, you can just read the graphic novel collections at Borders or Barnes and Noble. Just sit there and read it.

Like I said, best zombie novel. It's a pretty narrow genre that suffers from lackluster work.

I'm liking it so far, if Justin's still looking for Zombie Novels this is definitely up his alley. The beginning is a Day of the Triffids / 28 Days Later homage - waking up in a hospital. Beyond that it's pretty cool seeing it play out.

I heard good stuff about this. Look forward to it, even if the whole zombie genre is way the fuck oversaturated at this point. Too much crap vs. the good stuff.

I'm reasonably certain that's not a zombie novel.
