It's the haunted holiday season...  I thought I would share my favorite spooky books.  But anyone who knows me, knows that I love love love zombie books.  So my Top Ten is going to be the Top Ten Spooky Zombie Books.  Enjoy!

1. Autumn by David Moody -- Very dark, very adult zombie series.  Full of gore, just how I like it.  And I must say that this entire series really does scare the crap out of me...

4. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- One of my favorite classic books mixed with zombies while still keeping the Austen style and passages... loved it!  I liked Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters a bit less than P&P&Zombies.

6. The Walked Dead comic series -- I started reading the comic series after I started watching the TV series, but the comics still hold their own.  I love the stark black and white cells.  A masterpiece of spontaneity.

7. Living with the Dead trilogy by Jesse Petersen -- A more funny zombie novel about a couple reconnecting throughout the ordeal.   I loved this series so much...

8. World War Z by Max Brooks -- Documentary style highlighting the after effects of the zombie apocalypse.  I was really looking forward to the movie version, but I hear it's on the rocks right now.  Boo...

9. The Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy by Carrie Ryan -- My favorite YA zombie series.  I love the look of the world years afterward.   The first one was my favorite hands down, but the other two were really good also.

10. Zombie Blondes by Brian James -- Stepford Wives meets zombies in this YA novel.  It was plenty creepy to keep me entertained.
