Vampires have always enjoyed immense popularity in horror fiction and for a long time it was constantly growing. Recently, however, there has been a surge in the popularity of zombies in horror fiction. There is something quite frightening about shambling corpses wanting to eat you in vast numbers. It seems to touch a nerve in people — particularly readers and movie goers. Will Zombies replace the vampire as the monster of choice?
Only time . . . and reader demand will tell.
Below are zombie books and all of them are available through the libraries of the CLEVNET Consortium — many are owned by the Cleveland Hts-University Hts. Public Library System. You can click on the title if you’d like to order the book through the CLEVNET webcatalog.

That’s the most complete list of zombie books I’ve seen in a long time. Nice going.
Thank you, Jonathan,
Your words made me smile. I’m glad you liked the list. I was restricted by the caveat that the book had to be owned by a library in the CLEVNET system. Otherwise it would have been longer. But I tried to make it a nice place to start.
(For those who don’t know, Jonathan Maberry is a Stoker Award winning author who has just published a novel with a zombie or two (he he he) called Patient Zero as well as the Stoker Award nominated Zombie CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead. You can get a PDF copy of Countdown, the prequel to Patient Zero by clicking on this link.)
