YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!
I love all kinds of apocalyptic horror, but for this I am focusing on the Zombie genre. I use the word zombie loosely cause in a lot of these stories the zombies are not dead. That raises the argument of "zombie" book versus "infection" book. For the most part I class the two together, which is what I have done here. I left some out and will be adding some later. Please feel free to list out your own. For the record these are only books that I currently have in my possession. That is where you guys come in, list yours. Please ask away if wondering about any of these tittles. I know them well.

I have two more zombie novels due out this year:
DUST & DECAY (sequel to ROT & RUIN) -Simon & Schuster, August; and the paperback of ROT & RUIN drops in May with a cool new cover by Chad Michael Ward
DEAD OF NIGHT -a standalone apocalyptic zombie thriller from St. Martins Griffin, due out in late October. I'll be debuting this at ZombCon in Seattle.
Hell ya, zombies and brilliant fight sequences, hard to beat in my book, did you read Dragon Factory Cristina? You must!
Joe Ledger could almost beat up Repairman Jack, almost.
The story will be emailed to you shortly afterward.
“COUNTDOWN” is a prequel to PATIENT ZERO http://us.macmillan.com/CMS400/uploadedFiles/COUNTDOWN_free.pdf
“DEEP, DARK”, takes place just before THE DRAGON FACTORY. http://media.hbpub.com/stmartins/jonathanmaberry/deepdark.pdf
A 4th Joe Ledger story (with ZOMBIES) is in the print anthology, THE LIVING DEAD 2. This one, ZERO TOLERANCE, is a direct sequel to PATIENT ZERO

I'm sure there's more, I just can't remember them.
Breathe was decent but a bit short (and in the same vein as Simon Clark's One Rainy Night)
Cobble was alright. Didn't care for the ending to much. Another short one as well.
Now, I enjoyed Reign of the Dead quite a bit. Does it re-invent the wheel? Not in the slightest. But it is a pretty good zombie yarn.
Zombies play a (very) minor role in The Preserve by Patrick Lestewka but I can't recommend it highly enough.

Greetings Everyone, Well it's been awhile. As things go, life carries us all in different directions from time to time but you always find your way home sooner or later. Well, life ain't all fun and games, but right now, things are going good. I have restarted my writing on my book again, and as I learn more about about some of the ROle-playing games I have gotten into, I am seriously thinking about rying to create an actual Zombie Survival Role-playing game. But have not set any time…
