Within the past 72 hours I've been unable to do anything but read J. L. Bourne's books and sweat nervously at night for fear of getting devoured alive. Day by Day Armageddon and Beyond Exile: Day by Day Armageddon are honestly the most compelling pieces of zombie literature that I have ever read. The former came out last year but the later arrived in book stores at the beginning of July.
It spins a tale about a Naval Aviator who begins keeping a journal as his New Year's resolution just as the epidemic begins to rear its ugly head. The books are written from the perspective of the narrator and the books are his journal entries that he diligently keeps while fighting for his life. If you are even remotely interested in science-fiction this book will feed your appetite... if you are a zombie-apocalypse-can't-wait-for-it-to-actually-happen type of fan, then you'll get a stiffie reading these adventures. Check them out, it's worth your time.
However, a bit of criticism. Although an expertly spun tale, it does jump the shark towards the end. Not nearly enough to exacerbate the novels' enchanting story, but enough to slightly jar the euphoria you've been in since the title page.
