Zone One
Zombies are all the rage these days. For anyone who enjoys this sort of thing, Colson Whitehead's Zone One is a must read. Possibly the most engaging novel featuring ravenous revenant hordes I've read (although I have yet to read the popular World War Z and so we'll see if it maintains the top spot). Take a bite, see if it suits your tastes. I'll be looking for Whitehead's other novels.

Certainly a very fine write up here :-

I like the reviewer's take on the literary divide.

World War Z was a blast! I've gotten a rather short attention span as I've aged but it had me glued to my Kindle. I'll have to check this one out.

I really enjoyed Zombieland. Might check this one out as a much needed break.
I think the attraction to zombie stories right now relates to a subconscious feeling that we have all become such creatures in relation to the current social structures.

Zombieland had the best cameo in recent memory.

If anyone were to survive that you'd think it would be Bill Murray.
I enjoyed the film but didn't realize how impressed I was until I left the theatre and fully expected to encounter zombies outside.

Romero's original subtext implied rampant consumerism, but certainly it can be applied a number of ways. Single-minded purpose is a scary thing, as evidenced by the actions of fundamentalists the world over (and no nation immune).
