How come there aren't any /lit/ approved zombie novels?

>> No.6652749

because zombie novels are categorically shit

>> No.6653327

But why? Imagine a Blood Meridian-like novel based on a post-apocalyptic future after a zombie outbreak. How has no one done this yet?

>> No.6653333

No matter what anyone here says, World War Z is still a pretty good book. I like the way that the author tackles the idea of survival at the end of the world and who would really make it out.

>> No.6653357

because its traditionally a genre for teenagers and we talk about literature not genre fiction.

>> No.6653901

Does the Bible count?

Works well in pulp comics and shit. Honestly tho all the best horror writers I have read were dead by the time pop zombies became a thing.

Oh wait. Forgot about I am Legend. There actually vampires but they act like zombies.

MAKE IT. THIS IS HOW THINGS GET MADE.

Anyone with the skill to do what blood merid does, would not choose to do so with zombies added on.


Hearing "why is there not X+Zombies" feels like listening to a fat person ask why there is not some gourmet dish in a deep fried version.
