Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith, Patrick Arrasmith
Four years before the events of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the Bennet sisters are enjoying a peaceful life in the English countryside, reading, gardening, and daydreaming about future husbands—until a funeral at the local parish goes strangely and horribly awry. Suddenly, corpses are springing from the soft earth—and only one family can stop them. As the bodies pile up, Elizabeth Bennet grows from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. Along the way, two men vie for her affections: Master Hawksworth is the powerful warrior who trains her to kill, while thoughtful Dr. Keckilpenny seeks to conquer the walking dead using science instead of strength. Will either man win the prize of Elizabeth's heart? Or will their hearts be feasted upon by hordes of marauding zombies?
Dreadfully Ever After by Steve Hockensmith
When we last saw Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy—at the end of the New York Times best seller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies—they were preparing for a lifetime of wedded bliss. Yet the honeymoon has barely begun when poor Mr. Darcy is nipped by a rampaging dreadful. Elizabeth knows the only acceptable course of action is to promptly behead her husband (and then burn the corpse, just to be safe). But when she learns of a miracle antidote being developed in London, she realizes there may be one last chance to save her true love—and for everyone to live happily ever after.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen, Seth Grahame-Smith
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a bold reimagining of Jane Austen's classic novel. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton--and the dead are returning to life. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers--and even more violent sparring on the bloodsoaked battlefield. Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an audacious retelling of English literature's most enduring novel.
The Walking Dead Series by Robert Kirkman
Rick Grimes is not prepared for this. A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never fired a shot and only ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family he must now sort through the death and confusion to try and find his wife and son.
Zombie, Ohio
This clever horror thriller offers "a darkly humorous depiction of one zombie's struggle for enlightenment and redemption."--Publishers Weekly When Peter Mellor, a college professor in the rural town of Gant, Ohio, gets into in an automobile accident during a zombie outbreak, he comes to with a slight case of amnesia. What's worse, he's also dead. With society crumbling around him and violence escalating into daily life, Peter quickly learns that being a zombie isn't all fun and brains. Humans--generally unsympathetic--try to kill him at nearly every opportunity. His old friends are loath to associate with him. And he finds himself getting "hungry" at the most inconvenient times. And though a large part of his skull is missing, Peter is still able to decipher the most troubling aspect of his new condition: his accident was no accident at all. Faced with the harrowing mystery of his death, Peter must solve his own murder. Battling the avenging "breathers" and the inevitability of his own rotting flesh, Peter better act fast--while the odds of success are still on the dead. "A delicious slice of undead Americana" (Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Patient Zero), Zombie, Ohio is an outstanding blend of action and witty insight for fans of Shaun of the Dead. "George Romero, director of the original Night of the Living Dead and its sequels, should snap up the rights to this novel...combines humor with horror in a way that is guaranteed to make any zombie fan stand up and shout, "Braaaaaains!"--Booklist
Zone One by Colson Whitehead
pandemic has devastated the planet, sorting humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. After the worst of the plague is over, armed forces stationed in Chinatown's Fort Wonton have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street—aka Zone One. Mark Spitz is a member of one of the three-person civilian sweeper units tasked with clearing lower Manhattan of the remaining feral zombies. Zone One unfolds over three surreal days in which Spitz is occupied with the mundane mission of straggler removal, the rigors of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder (PASD), and the impossible task of coming to terms with a fallen world. And then things start to go terribly wrong...
At once a chilling horror story and a literary novel by a contemporary master, Zone One is a dazzling portrait of modern civilization in all its wretched, shambling glory.
