    I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, though that's less about zombies and more about vampire-like creatures. Still awesome though, and recommended solely because of Will Smith's film version of it.

    David Wellington's Monster Island trilogy.

    Stephen King's Cell was about the majority of the population turning into mindless psychos, but it's a good story of survival among monsters.

    Don't know if you would count graphic novels, but The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman definitely stands out.

    I read I am Legend back a bit before the movie came out. I like the books ending better than the movies. It just seemed more badass.

    I want to read more of this. If you would be so kind as to continue I would be a happy fan.

    Yea I followed this for awhile but stopped after the they got into the battle with the town. Just kinda lost interest in it.

    This could be your lucky day. I started the fic originally after I got the sudden urge to watch Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later. Now I just have read a fic on Harry's mystery pairing girl that has given me the urge to write more to this fic. Also, since it is so short I can do a lot of editing and reworking since not much has happened yet.
