Liveware Posted June 24, 2012 I’m looking for good books that feature Zombies as a central concept, as in surviving the zombie apocalypse (not zombies as characters). One thing to note is that I have read Charlie Brook’s “World War Z” and really enjoyed it, now I’m trying to find other books on a similar theme that are worth reading. Any recommendations?

brkl Posted June 24, 2012 Well, I liked the illustrations, but haven't read more than a dozen pages. I doubt it's very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liveware Posted June 24, 2012 okay, maybe "very good" was an exaggeration. Its an enjoyable, well drawn zombie themed comic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted June 24, 2012 Oh, it's not a comic, it's a book with a few illustrations. EDIT: Oh, jesus. I'm talking about that book and only that book in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liveware Posted June 24, 2012 This one? (Rise of the Governor) http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Walking-Dead-ebook/dp/B005I3PBBC/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1340557597&sr=1-8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P&P&Z was shit, he just copy-pasted out P&P and stuck a sentence or two about zombies at the end of each chapter. It wasn't inventive at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a joke because you called him Charlie Brook, a compound of Max Brook and Charlie Brooker, presumably. People often get Ron and Dave Gilbert mixed up (and one particular person on these forums does it on purpose) because they're both well-known adventure game designers.

Liveware Posted June 25, 2012 oops fail by myself forgetting the authors name. Ah okay, yeah I saw you'd put "Ron Gilbert" but wasn't going to say anything, I knew who you meant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grufff Posted July 1, 2012 You could try The Rising by Brian Keene, and it's follow-up City of the Dead. They're both regarded favourably as far as I'm aware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
