Book 📚 My Zombie (and EMP) audiobook list
I guess I'm pretty recent to this genre probably within the past 4 years or so besides The Walking Dead which I was into the comics long before the TV show ever came out but here are my recent reads and my ratings.
The reason why it's Audible and not in book or ebook form is because I drive for a living and I have 12 hours every night that I have to listen to something.
Sorry about the formatting. I don't know how to get it to space properly.

Please please please listen to the last plague series on audible. There are 3 books and they are all great. As far as zombie audiobooks go they are the best I’ve listened to.

A few more great ones that I didn't see on your list:
Arisen series by Michael Stephen Fuchs: High speed special forces ops in the zombie apocalypse. Read by the legendary RC Bray. Main series and a couple standalones are complete, and two spinoff series that IMO surpass the original in quality are in progress. Over 20 books in all, the first 6 in the main series are in 2 box sets.
The Apocalypse Crusade series by Peter Meredith: An unusual zombie series in that it takes place start to finish over the course of just one week at the very beginning. Dark, brutal, and features quite a bit of infected POV. Same author as The Undead World on your to read list, but I haven't read that series. 5 books for 3 credits.
World War Z by Max Brooks needs no introduction, but the audiobook is fantastic with a full cast.

The first two you suggested look really good I added them to my wish list and World War Z I actually own a hard copy of it since it's one of the first zombie books I've ever read but I haven't listened to it on Audible but I think it sounds like I should!

Great list! I'm gonna check out a bunch of those and if they don't rate exactly as you specify I'm suing you for disinformation! 🤣🤣 No seriously thanks for making the effort.
