  1. Shout out to World War Z by Max Brooks! 🙂

    1. I’m sure that’s Stephanie’s favorite.

  2. Welcome, Willow!

    Will Willow be trading off with Pat or is she the new primary? It’s been fun seeing these characters through multiple artists’ eyes.

    Also, I just read (like stayed up too late last night finishing it) My Life As a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland and it’s good. Shares some elements with the very enjoyable tv adaptation of iZombie (based on Chris Roberson’s comic which I have not read, but should)

    1. Willow is working with me mostly on book-related strips in the current 4 panel format — some of them are booktalks, while others are more reminiscent of the Unshelved Book Club — but you should see her draw other Library Comic characters from time to time (or more often if I can find time to write more booktalky strips).

    2. I should read some of the later Rowland books, I think I stopped after 2 or 3. And the tv series iZombie (which I like) is much more like the Rowland books than it is like the comic it shares a title with.

  3. John Ringo’s “Under a Graveyard Sky”, and at least the earlier sequels, (I need to catch up.)

  4. Welcome, Willow!
    My favorite Zombie series is Until the End of The World by Sarah Lyons Fleming. I tore through that series listening to the audiobooks performed by Julia Whelan. Great stuff!

  5. “Rot & Ruin” – series by Jonathan Maberry. Incorporates coming-of-age and is SO wonderful! I may have first discovered it because of the “Unshelved” strip!

  6. It’s not a typical zombie series since it’s not a sci-fi zombie apocalypse sort of story, but the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix is great for a fantasy twist on zombies and necromancy.

  7. They aren’t brain-obsessed but I could make a case for the unthinking, shuffling beings populating Earth in /Terminal Alliance/ (and the new /Terminal Uprising/) by Jim C. Hines. On the list of my top-5 favorite books from last year.

  8. Well The Last of Us isn’t strictly speaking zombies, but yeah the addition to the story in American Dreams was great. Still frustrated by the negative reactions to Bill (TLoU) and Ellie being queer though (covered mostly in the Left Behind DLC).
