okay, its already been said a lot but world war Z. frighteningly realistic, incredibly compelling, oddly paced at times but a fantastic read no less. the zombie survival as well. can not wait until the world war Z movie.

There's certainly a good list here, but I have to agree with the users: World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide are staples in zombie literature. Max Brooks does an excellent job of making zombies relevant, even to non-fans. But like I said earlier, it's still a pretty well-researched and exhaustive article.

A comprehensive list, my only objections are the absence of "The Zombie Survival Guide" "World War Z" and "The Walking Dead"

No Brain Dead (or Dead Alive for Americans) by Peter Jackson? Aww. I'd put a lawnmower above even a chainsaw for zombie slayage...

No mention of Dead Alive? Not only is it an amazing zombie movie, but it's by Peter Jackson and holds the record for goriest movie EVER made.

@Doctalen Wow...I could not disagree more. While Weeks was a very good sequel and Imogen Poots is stunningly beautiful in it, it did not have the heart the Days had. Also wanted to state how much I HATE intelligent zombies. It takes all the fun out of them. If you have smart zombies, why not just have the characters fight normal humans. Can't stand it. Lastly, thanks for informing me about "The Dead Shall Inherit The Earth". It sounds awesome, but "The Blackest Heart" sounds even better. Eh, I'll just get both.

Zombies are the greatest pandemic ever in history Scientist should invent a disease that makes dead arise and is spread like AIDS. If i become President or Prime Minister i would invest all tax payer money into the development of the bamf disease hell yeah!!!!!!!

just recently saw return of the living dead. I now love intelligent zombies more than snarling feral zombies, I about fell out of my chair laughing when a zombie got on the radio and sent for more cops.
