Ahh, Zombies because I've never read a full on zombie novel and I am having withdrawals from The Walking Dead, after watching all three series across 8 weeks
Salem's Lot was an amazing book and film. I have a vague recollection of my big brother, having watched Salem's Lot at the pictures (I had to wait a few years and watch it on video!) electing to make a crucifix in woodwork class
I love most of the horror genres, in print and on the screen (except for slasher/torture....can't abide those). But was never really drawn to zombies in novels. Seems such a visual thing. And never been much of a one for graphic novels either. Decided to have a gander at what's out there zombiewise...and most of it seems to be either very badly written, humorous, or genre-twisting.
Hadn't realised quite how much of a thing it is! There's hundreds of them...so was hoping to cut through the pile with some recommendations

oooh. I do have a kindle (old school; no backlight) Thanks. I'll check that out!
[eta] I sort of have read a zombie novel, but not really. It was written from the perspective of an NPC zombie in a massively multiplayer game world - Mogworld, by Yahtzee Croshaw. I recommend to anyone wanting something a bit different. And if you've ever played an MMO and gone hacking and slashing through the undead hordes to gain access to dungeon treasure, it's a must :P
