![]() | I Am Legend (S.F. Masterworks) by Richard Matheson
Buy new: £3.99 / Used from: £0.61 Probably my favourite book. The book is relatively short but an excellent horror/sci-fi combination. The story follows the only survivor of a vampire pandemic in Los Angeles.
|
![]() | Blood Crazy by Simon Clark
Buy used from: £4.32 All adults become homocidal maniacs overnight, leaving children to fight for their survival. Not really a zombie story, but it has a lot of similarities.
|

Buy used from: £8.00 Very well written and original book written as a collection of factual interviews following a worldwide conflict against the undead.
|

![]() | Monster Island: A Zombie Novel by David Wellington
Buy new: £4.76 / Used from: £0.01 A squad of female Somalian teenage soldiers go to New York city (which is over-run by zombies) in order to find medicine. Sounds crazy but it's great.
|
![]() | Monster Nation: A Zombie Sequel by David Wellington
Buy new: £4.76 / Used from: £1.29 A prequel to 'Monster Island' but a good story in its own right centred around a US National Guard officer at the beginning of the outbreak.
|
![]() | Monster Planet: A Zombie Novel by David Wellington
Buy new: £4.78 / Used from: £0.53 The third book in the 'Monster' trilogy. Not as good as the others in my opinion.
|
![]() | The Rising by Brian Keene
Buy new: £3.68 / Used from: £2.20 Zombies more like demons that talk, drive cars, use tools etc. A popular book but open ended.
|
![]() | City of the Dead by Brian Keene
Buy new: £4.84 / Used from: £4.02 Sequel to 'The Rising' that carries on from the end of the first book (and does reach a conclusion).
|
![]() | 28 Days Later: The Aftermath by Steve Niles
Buy used from: £8.77 A graphic novel providing background to '28 Days Later' and '28 Weeks Later'.
|
![]() | Dead City by Joe McKinney
Buy new: £3.95 / Used from: £1.16 A cop fights his way through a zombie plague in San Antonio in an attempt to reach his family. Not very original, but not bad either.
|
![]() | Deadlands by Scott A. Johnson

|
![]() | Day by Day Armageddon (A Zombie Novel) by J.L. Bourne
Buy used from: £27.60 This originally started like as an on-line diary and it shows. Not the best piece of literature, but not a bad read and zombie fans will enjoy it.
|
![]() | Aftermath of the Dead by Gregory Smith
Buy new: £7.63 / Used from: £5.09 Really pretty terrible, but an option if you've ready every other zombie book in existance and you're an addict.
|
![]() | Tomes of the Dead: The Words of their Roaring by Matthew Smith
Buy new: £5.46 / Used from: £1.25 A mixture of zombies and gangsters in London. Another example of a story featuring the evolution of zombies over time.
|
![]() | Eve of the Dead by Nathan Tucker
Buy new: £9.52 / Used from: £7.80 A fairly typically zombie uprising story, this time in Florida. Nothing special, but not bad.
|
![]() | The Living Dead by Stephen King
Buy new: £8.36 / Used from: £6.23 A large collection of well written short stories. Recommended for the thinking zombie fan as it's not all chomping on intestines and shots to the head.
|
![]() | Autumn by David Moody
Buy used from: £24.50 A fairly 'typical' zombie epidemic in the UK. I personally think it's over-rated, but it's the first book in a popular series.
|
![]() | Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance-now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem! (Quirk Classics) by Jane Austen
Buy new: £3.57 / Used from: £1.52 A great idea with minor changes from the original story, but not enough zombies for my liking.
|
![]() | Empire: A Zombie Novel by David Dunwoody

Buy new: £5.58 / Used from: £1.78 Not a zombie book, but if you like other books on this list, take a look. First in a trilogy.
|
