Danse Macabre by Stephen King. Nonfiction. King discusses the horror genre from 1950 through 1980. Interesting and easy-to-read. I read it every October, then discover/rediscover some movie/book/TV show/radio show that's worth my time. Highly recommended.
Picked it up at a used bookstore a few years back. Interesting reading.

The Rising by Brian Keene. Zombie Apocalypse. Keene juggles multiple characters and multiple storylines pretty well, but predictability and bad dialogue kill (NPI) what could have been a good novel.
I've heard a lot of good stuff about this guy. He's got a short story "I am an exit" in a recent Horror Garage issue.
You should try Phil Nutman's Wetwork. Excellent zombie apocalypse tale.
