Zombie Preparedness 101 from the CDC. Undead: Everything the Modern Zombie Needs to Know. Dead is a Battlefield. Alice in Zombieland. Alice Bell has led a sheltered life in suburban Alabama, shaped by her father's insistence that no one leave the house after dark because of the monsters. On her sixteenth birthday, Ali insists the only present she wants is to see her beloved eight-year-old sister's evening dance recital. On the way home, their car is attacked by zombies in front of the cemetery, and Ali alone survives. Now living with her maternal grandparents, she is consumed by guilt (her dad was right after all), fear (the zombies are still out there), and confusion over her powerhouse attraction to bad boy Cole. Though bearing trademark Harlequin emphases on romance and appearance (every character is gorgeous and described in loving detail), Showalter's novel also includes ironic allusions to Lewis Carroll (a puffy white rabbit cloud always appears before a zombie attack), as well as pathos, as Ali struggles with the loss of her family.

World War Z. [At its prewar height, this region boasted a population of over thirty-five million people. Now, there are barely fifty thousand. Reconstruction funds have been slow to arrive in this part of the country, the government choosing to concentrate on the more densely populated coast.
There is no central power grid, no running water besides the Yangtze River. But the streets are clear of rubble and the local "security council" has prevented any postwar outbreaks. The chairman of that council is Kwang Jingshu, a medical doctor who, despite his advanced age and wartime injuries, still manages to make house calls to all his patients.] The first outbreak I saw was in a remote village that officially had no name.
The residents called it "New Dachang," but this was more out of nostalgia than anything else. The hospital was quiet; it had been a slow night, even for the increasing number of drunk-driving accidents. What could I say? I had a devil of a time finding the place. "Who? " My colleague Dr. Can you Survive the Zombie Apocalypse? Inside these pages lies unspeakable horror. Bloodsplattering, brain-impaling, flesh-devouring horror.

Since being cornered and bitten in his home by a swarm of zombies, former college professor Jack Barnes has found a new love: brains. Not just any brains, but bubbly, bewitching, bedazzling brains. While he may be a zombie (he ate his wife shortly after being turned), a classic, arms-outstretched, shambling zombie he is not.
He has something special that the rest of the infected don't: self-awareness. That and his ability to write convince him to go to Chicago to find the scientist who created the virus responsible for zombification and, he hopes, end the war between the living and the dead. En route he meets a few like-minded undead compatriots, all with varying degrees of sentience, to help him on his quest: Joan, once a nurse, who is particularly skilled at patching up body parts; Guts, a young man who can still run with the best of them; pregnant Eve, whom Jack falls for after biting off her finger; and Ros, a spokesman of sorts, since he's still able to talk. (less) White Horse. Return Man. First Days. Warm Bodies. I AM DEAD, but it’s not so bad.
I’ve learned to live with it. I’m sorry I can’t properly introduce myself, but I don’t have a name anymore. Hardly any of us do. We lose them like car keys, forget them like anniversaries. Mine might have started with an “R,” but that’s all I have now. It’s funny because back when I was alive, I was always forgetting other people’s names. None of us are particularly attractive, but death has been kinder to me than some. We like to joke and speculate about our clothes, since these final fashion choices are the only indication of who we were before we became no one.
You were a waitress. It never does. No one I know has any specific memories. But it does make me sad that we’ve forgotten our names. There are hundreds of us living in an abandoned airport outside some large city. I think we’ve been here a long time. I am riding the escalators when M finds me. After maybe thirty repetitions, I rise to find M waiting for me at the top.
I nod and follow him. (less) Feed. Urban fantasist Seanan McGuire (Rosemary and Rue) picks up a new pen name for this gripping, thrilling, and brutal depiction of a postapocalyptic 2039. Twin bloggers Georgia and Shaun Mason and their colleague Buffy are thrilled when Sen. Peter Ryman, the first presidential candidate to come of age since social media saved the world from a virus that reanimates the dead, invites them to cover his campaign. Then an event is attacked by zombies, and Ryman's daughter is killed. As the bloggers wield the newfound power of new media, they tangle with the CDC, a scheming vice presidential candidate, and mysterious conspirators who want more than the Oval Office. Shunning misogynistic horror tropes in favor of genuine drama and pure creepiness, McGuire has crafted a masterpiece of suspense with engaging, appealing characters who conduct a soul-shredding examination of what's true and what's reported.
