Has anyone else heard about this book? It's described as an "oral account of the Zombie War". It's pretty interesting. It basically takes a 100% serious look at what would happen if a Zombie plague broke out Romero-style. However, it's written through fictional oral accounts of various survivors.
I'd seen good things written about it, so I picked it up. It's really quite interesting. If you're expecting to see a bad horror plot you'll be surprised. Honestly, there isn't a lot of gore in it (there is some). There's a lot of allegory, though, as you watch government break down, militaries fail, and countries bicker among themselves in the midst of this panic.
I guess Brad Pitt's production company has already optioned it as a film. I'm not sure I could see it as a film, but I do think that seeing the Battle of Yonkers and the Battle of Hope would be interesting to see on the big screen.
Oh, and the odd thing about it? Mel Brooks's son is the author.
