If you love zombie movies, you should read Monster Island, by David Wellington. It follows the tropes of cinematic zombie lore, and pays its respects to the genre, all the way to the ending! It goes beyond homage to incorporate some insightful ideas that are new, and makes interesting use of the media (prose instead of film) to good effect.
While Monster Island is entirely self-contained (unlike the pandemic it describes), there are two more novels following it, which I am about to greedily download: Monster Nation, and Monster Planet. The first book is soon to see print; there are plenty of links at the site to online retailers. All three books are available in their entirety to be read online, or even on your iPod. If anyone is using Plucker, it’s a cinch to download and read on your Palm device.
