I've had The Strain delivered from England the other day. It's looks really interesting. And also I agree, World War Z is exceptional. Should be the biggest budget zombie movie of all time in the next two years. I believe it's in pre-production.

The trailer was removed because of the reason given. Graphics are not allowed in sigs, so it would be pretty sensible to realise that neither therefore are trailer links.

Backtracking to the comment about Cell being a like-it-or-loathe-it book, anyone interested in zombies should read through the first chapter alone, which contains one of the best set-up sequences of all zombie horror fiction. The rest of the novel... Not so much. By the time the zombies

took on a group consciousness and started sleeping in packs as some communal entity,

I had lost interest. The first thrust of the story propels it forward excellently though.

 

It isn't the first time King has tackled zombies, as there is a short called The Reach - which uses Romero-zombies to great effect - in an earlier collection. I don't have the book to hand, but I believe it to be from a collection of similar zombie short stories.

 

There are also a slew of small press and indie publishers which work exclusively within the zombie sub-genre. I'm still working on my definitive list of every zombie novel ever written...

 

ETA: This should help anyone looking for zombie books. I'm always on the look-out for new additions, and it isn't complete yet, but I'm working on it.
