I knew some GCers would feel the zombie love.

If so I recommend Feed and Deadline from Mira Grant (First two in the Newsflesh series) you're about 25-30 years POST Rising. Everyone is infected, if you die, you reanimate and so does any mammal over 40 lbs. It's a very different take on the genre and written by one of my favorite authors (Seanan McGuire under the pseudonym)

ETA: I forgot what else I wanted to put here, that people who were fans of zombies and zombie movies helped save lives because they knew wtf was going on when the news channels were clueless. Similarly George/Georgia/Georgette are the most common names for children after Mr. Romero.

Also good, Aftertime (more 'infected' than zombies), World War Z (of course ), and The Walking Dead anthology (there may be a second one now too)

Thanks. I prefer zombie movies over books because I need the visual.

Many years ago, I lived in a neighborhood where people had bars on the windows and I had an awesome steel patio door. It was actually a nice door...I miss it. The bars and patio doors could fend off human attacks and also zombie attacks. There are three things to consider:

1) How would I get to my family should a zombie attack occur?
2) What weapon? Crowbars do not suffice. LOL.
3) Food. Let's say I (with or without others) get stuck in the crib...is there enough food? LOL.

Then I think about the horror of this scene:

I'm not really even scared by zombies like that--Ghostface freaks me out way more (because being stalked by a serial killer is slightly more likely to happen to me than being chased down by the undead.)

Zombie movie haters never prosper. I also like 28 Days Later. Have you seen it?
