Ok, I am going into bat for the zombies
Not all zombies are alike. I do enjoy The Walking Dead (series. graphic novel and game)but for a different take try the French series The Returned (about to be remade in English as Resurrection) or the English series In the Flesh. Both intelligent and different looks at the phenomena, and if you like ghosts I defy you not to like The Returned.
Then there is the slightly cheesy movie Warm Bodies, or the horrific 28 Days Later in which the living are almost worst than the dead, a la Lord of the Flies.
Then read I Am Legend. The Will Smith movie version is ok but avoid the Heston version (The Omega Man).
Zombie Le Chuck was a bit of fun too.
Who could forget the British band The Zombies wrote and first performed the much re-recorded She's Not There.
And Pride and Prejudice has never been more entertaining
