Zombie Plate: Pontypool Changes Everything

Another one to share with you from my zombie tbr pile...

Pontypool Changes Everything
by Tony Burgess

Description from the amazon:
The dark side of humanity is explored in this electrifying science fiction thriller in which an epidemic virus terrorizes the earth. Causing its inhabitants to strike out on murderous rampages, the virus is caught through conversation and, once contracted, leads its host on a strange journey—into another world where the undead roam the streets of the smallest towns and largest cities, hungry for human flesh.

Describing in chilling detail what it would be like if thousands suddenly caught such a virus and struck out on a mass, never-ending, cannibalistic spree, this terrifying narrative is perfect for those who are ready to explore their darkest secret imaginings through a sinister and compelling literary work of art.

fyi: there is also a movie version of this

After the End by Bonnie Dee

After the End
by Bonnie Dee
- ebook

Published: 2009
Genre: Post-apocalypse, Zombies
Rating: 4

Description from the amazon:
The end of the world is only the beginning.

Zombies are on the loose and the world is falling apart. In the tradition of apocalyptic novels such as Stephen King’s THE STAND, a group of strangers on a Manhattan subway are brought together in the name of survival.

The group follows the lead of Ari Brenner, a young man who doesn’t recognize his own leadership qualities and believes they follow him simply because he wears an army uniform. Lila Teske, a college student studying philosophy, finds her non-violent beliefs tested in the crucible of a zombie attack. There are other members of the diverse group, but the focus of the story is on Ari and Lila, two young people who learn about sacrifice and inner strength through the ordeal.

With the city’s infrastructure down and communication with the outside world curtailed the survivors head toward the nearest marina. When they meet a lab tech who may have a solution to the virus, they know his safety is paramount and it’s more important than ever that they get off the island.

But zombies aren’t the only danger that impedes them on their perilous journey.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): captain
A virus causes the zombie outbreak in this story that follows a group of survivors. Along with fighting against zombies the issues of individual and group dynamics in survival situations are addressed.

What got me thinking was the questions of to stay? or go?

In a zombocalypse world would you choose to stay put and wait for the cavalry? or be on the move and seek others?

fyi:kindle edition is currently available for $2.39.

Zombie Plate: A Zombie Trilogy by Rhiannon Frater

As The World Dies: A Zombie Trilogy

The First Days

Fighting To Survive

Siege

by Rhiannon Frater

It was cover love and zombie premise that got me hooked onto this trilogy. As you can see the 3rd cover was used for my September Zombies button.


As you look at the covers it is interesting to see the progression of the women's predicament.

If there was a fourth cover, I envision and hope the duo would be standing victoriously on top of a pile of headless zombies. How about you? What would you like to see just based on the trilogy covers?

The books are now out-of-print and will not be available again until next year. However, you may be able to find a few copies online. I was able to get my set from the amazon last month. Snag yours while you can!

Description from the amazon:
Two very different women flee into the Texas Hill Country on the first day of the zombie rising. Together they struggle to rescue loved ones, find other survivors, and avoid the hungry undead.


FYI: here's Rhiannon's latest YA zombie book released last month (on my want list):

The Living Dead Boy and the Zombie Hunters:
A Young Adult Zombie Novel
