The greatest of zombie literature:

Day by day Armageddon by J.L. Borne.
The Moringstar strain saga by Z.A. Recht.
Dying to Live by Kim Paffernoth.

Seriously, these books are amazing. I think what I really enjoy about the zombie novels, isn't the flesh eating gore but rather the unstoppable collapse of the world we know. With zombies, you get that end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it flavor. Vampires on the other hand, always have that sexual undertone of lust, control and desire which I really don't dig all that much.
