Monster Planet
David Wellington · 2007 · 320 pages
Set twelve years after the shambling zombie masses have overrun Manhattan, America, and the world, Monster Planet is the mind-blowing conclusion to what must be the scariest trilogy ever. Oceans of blood, scattered limbs, wanton violence, and general mayhem abound, along with revivified mummies, a Welsh sorcerer, and Wellington's signature brand of cool high-tech weaponry and sly humor — zombies, after all, are the ultimate consumers. What do the undead want, aside from fresh meat? Do the steadily diminishing number of humans who have somehow managed to survive over a decade of living hell stand a chance on a planet where they've been reduced to the status of prey? It all ends here, on Monster Planet.

“Anyone who knows me well knows that lately I’ve become a bit of a zombie addict and it’s bordering on an obsession. I watch them as much as possible. You never seem to run out of zombies, it’s fantastic, just like in the games I suppose. Although I watch them all the time on tour, when it comes to night, I can’t watch them. My friend had got into reading about zombies and he said that I should too, so you don’t get that excitement from the blue screen etc. So I’ve just started reading this one which I think has a particularly interesting slant on the way zombies and the mystery virus can be in a funny way spiritual and otherworldly. David Wellington’s take on it is very interesting and quite novel.”↗
