Any kind of good Zombie/Virus/Disease related books that are any good?
I really like those kinds of books, I've read The Maze Runner series (amazing), World War Z (masterpiece fr), and some other random books with that stuff. Are there any other good ones?
I enjoyed the Newsflesh Series (Deadline is the 1st book) by Mira Grant. Fast paced, interesting take, good world building.

I was like 85% through Wake Up and Open Your Eyes and I really liked it. Not sure how it ends though because my loan ran out and the wait is months before it’s available again!

I’m currently reading The Fireman by Joe Hill. LOVE IT!
(If you don’t already know, Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son, and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.)

Infected, by Scott Sigler. Can be a bit visceral at times. It’s a thriller/horror/contagion procedural.

**The Passage** trilogy by Justin Cronin. Had never heard of it but started reading it based on a Reddit recommendation and I blasted through all three books in two weeks. I generally don’t like zombie or apocalypse type stories but these were SO compelling, couldn’t put them down.
Plot is basically “the future” where a virus has develares humanity and people are living in a world of fast zombies (technically vampires, but that’s neither here nor there) and following a couple of characters trying to survive 100 years after the relatively immediate fall of society with the disease outbreak

The Rifters series by Peter Watts. Not at first, but the disease comes up later. These are available as free ebooks on the author’s website.

I’m an apocalypse junkie here’s a few suggestions
1) The stand. Probably the best I’ve read
2) The Dog Stars. Solid story. Loved it
3) Year One. Didn’t think I’d like it, ended up loving it
4) The Passage. Vampires but still great
5) The Road. This one goes hard.
6) Station Eleven. Started kinda dull but wanted so much more by the end
7) Silo series. The Apple TV show is really good but the books are so much better
8) The Postman
