New guy here! I was directed to this forum by a post in the SIGForums that was talking about Hornady's Zombie-Max ammo. I wanted to mention two other zombie-themed works. One is High school of the Dead, a 13 episode anime based on a manga of the same name. You can see the first two episodes as a guest at Anime Network's website. All you need to do to see the rest is to register at the web site-there's no charge.
I've taken the premise of H.O.T.D. and crossed it over with another anime series, You're Under Arrest, that's set in a Tokyo police station. I call it "Bokuto Precinct of the DEAD" and it is on the FanFiction website. Hope you give them a try. |

I thought I'd add this movie. It's easily the most bizarre film I've ever seen (maybe excepting Eraserhead,) and I will buy a copy of it for its sheer bizarreness.
It's on Netflix right now. Here's my stream-of-consciousness review I wrote while watching the movie: Helldriver is billed as a Japanese zombie flick. But it is so much less, and so perfect. Forget the high-handed attempts at intellectualism we see in Miiki films like 'Visitor Q' and 'Ichii the Killer'. 'Helldriver' is pure madness, with buckets and buckets (and buckets) of blood, zombie antler harvesting, amateur heart transplant surgery, game shows from hell, chainsaw-wielding zombies vs. chainsaw-katana-wielding schoolgirls, exploding heads (and hearts and Japanese schoolgirls) and of course, buckets of blood. Did I mention zombie-huntress pole dancing? Cannibalism, Japanese protest songs, stupid American tourists overdosing on mercury-laden whale sushi, weird scenes that flit in and out like frames from a torture-porn film, and of course, buckets and buckets of blood. Post-apocalyptic street vendors sell Cup-o-Roach and Toad Surprise, and yell "Rice is expensive!" The film kind of lost me about a quarter of the way through when it delved into totally unnecessary exposition and character development, but redeemed itself later with a little cripple abuse and pudding worship. The brain bar at the Zombie Tavern was cool. Odd little sequence of a Japanese businessman arguing for the civil rights of zombies (worried about revenue loss?) Even more touching was him turning into a zombie snack immediately after his proclamation. Other highlights: A 'Running Man' scene emceed by a Japanese Hitler with (wait for it...) buckets of blood delivered by coffin-shaped Iron Maidens. Of particular note was the Zombie head mortar attack, complete with chainsaw brain surgery and a zombie head that likes to...get down...on one of the heroines. After all that, it started to get weird. Run! Ruuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome. It could have used more gratuitous bare female torso (although one memorable scene involves a girl getting a zombie breast reduction procedure.) |

But did it have buckets of blood? Cuz that type of movie wouldn't be any good without buckets of blood. Oh, and the blood needs to be sort of splashed around, not just left in the buckets. Because that would be boring. |

Been awhile, but here's my recent list
Zone One- Colson Whitehead ......tough read. Definitely not your typical zombie fiction. After finishing it and looking back I see what he was trying to do, and I enjoyed it. The Failed - Jim Bronyaur.....good book Dead Earth- The Green Dawn...more good stuff from Permuted Press. I haven't had a chance to pick up the sequel yet, but I will. New Zed Order:Survive- Todd Sprague....another Permuted book. Again, good stuff. The Becoming:Brother in Arms- Jessica Meigs....a short novella to go with The Becoming. Very good. Autumn- David Moody...pretty good too. Set in the UK so it's not gun porn heavy. I enjoyed it. Rise-Gareth Wood....another Permuted book. Again, good stuff. |

Man, I remember just a few years ago, I had to re-read the same 15 or so zombie books over and over again. Now, I can barely keep up with the latest zombie fic. |

I've been writing some rage virus infection fiction. It's nothing compared to some that I've read but it's been a good time consumer.

Wow... It's remarkable what you can find on Amazon for free. They offer quite a few free digital download of some books.
I've downloaded these into my iPad. LZR-1143: Within (A Zombie Novella) (4 stars, 176 reviews) 
Zombie Games (Origins) (4.5 stars, 136 reviews) 
Deadlocked (4.5 stars, 419 reviews) 
Valley Of Death, Zombie Trailer Park (4.5 stars, 250 reviews) 
There are actually more books, but these stood out for me. All you need to do is do a search for "zombie books" and tons of them popped out. |
