The Reapers Are the Angels – Alden Bell
This is not your average zombie story. Fifteen-year-old Temple can’t read, but she’s a poet in her own head. She navigates the remains of the United States with intelligence and a competence that belies her ages, interacting with the few surviving humans and zombies alike and discovering that the undead may not be the monsters.
Feed (Newflesh, Book 1) – Mira Grant
Georgia, Shaun and Buffy are a 20-something blogging news’ team, twenty-five years after the Kellis-Amberlee virus wiped out a third of America’s population. In a time that requires journalists to be licensed in weaponry, the team scores the presidential campaign coverage. Told alternately in blog posts from the team and George’s snarky and intelligent first person narration, this story will gripe you from the first zombie-poking on page 1.
World War Z – Max Brooks
Following up on The Zombie Survival Guide, this book gives all the first person accounts that “couldn’t be told before” due to government regulations. The story is told in a format of oral interviews with people, as they survive the post-apocalyptic world, and makes the world they live in almost too close for comfort.
Dead Inside: Do Not Enter: Notes from the Zombie Apocalypse (post secret meets zombies) – Lost Zombies
If Post Secret decided to gather up confessions as the world was overrun with zombies, this is the book that would result. Images, notes, letters, and drawings by children make this book both engrossing and chilling.
