The whole sexy vampire thing has always caused me to roll my eyes. If the category is horror, then what's so scary about a monster who is good looking, eternally young and fabulous in bed? The worst thing he can do to you is make you eternally young and oversexed as well. All such books should be moved into the fantasy section.

Is there a sexy zombie sub-genre?

Zombies are usually slow and clumsy, it would be better to get away from them in an open space, (street, avenue, parking lot) So hiding in a building, closed space can possibly trap you inside and the "Z's" will multiply and barracade you in.

However, the only zombies that can run are the one's with the rage virus...

The only zombie movie that truly scared me was The Serpent and the Rainbow.

I see zombies as the least threat. pop a cap in his cranium and hes toast. vampires and lycans...you need all this specialized stuff to knock one off. wooden stakes, silver bullets, holy water.....sunlight. feh.

just give me a good ol cricket bat and stand back. (I cant believe this thread has gotten this far and no one has made a Shaun of the Dead reference yet.)

I thought the Shaun of the Dead reference was a given. You know, inside all of us.

At least it was for me. ;)

Same here. I was going to mention SotD, especially in relation to the "zombies are slow" discussion, but it somehow seemed implied.

I don't think I've ever been afraid of Rob Argent or Colin Blunstone.

eh, fair enough.
I stand corrected.

How come no one ever sits corrected or kneels corrected.
