World War Z (the book, not the movie) had many memorable moments.

There's the one where the main character gets executed, but comes back three days later as a zombie.

It's got a real cult following!

All-time bestseller!

I loved Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton. It was a zombie book but from the perspective of the wild animals and pets of the world.

I guess bible is the only zombie book I've read, but not sure I'd rank that as a "favorite"

meme that contains the words: This Easter remember, JESUS WAS NOT A ZOMBIE. He was not mindless nor did he consume anyone. Nor was he a GHOUL or a WIGHT. Although his soul and intellect were intact, he was not a rotting corpse. He was not Vampire. While he transubstantiated wine into blood He never drank it from a person Jesus was not a ghost or a WRAITH. He was corporeal and still had his wounds. It is clear. JESUS WAS A LICH. A lich is created when a powerful magician or king striving for eternal life uses spells or rituals to bind his soul to his animated corpse and thereby achieves immortality. Liches are depicted as being clearly cadaverous, their bodies still bearing the wounds they received before their death. Liches often have the power of necromancy, which allow them to bring the dead back to life.
