OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!
I am sooo into Zombie survival horror.

Check out permutedpress.com!!!!!! They have alot of less known zombie books.

Funny thing is a 28 days/ weeks later zombie type scenario is not that far fetched. Walking-flesh eating dead is more of a religious Armageddon IMHO. But a rage virus is fairly easy to imagine.

Rabies,
Ebola,
Hanta,
Marburg

all have possibilities.

as a matter of a fact, not many ppl know that many Ebola victims gain consciousness immediately before they bleed out and have been known to flail about right before death. One documented case in India involved a man standing up, walking out of a hospital, walking to a busy street bleeding out in before a crowd of onlookers. I have seen video of this phenomenon and these people are in no way in control of their own bodies.

Creepy huh?

"Ebola destroys the brain more thoroughly than does Marburg, and Ebola victims often go into epileptic convulsions during the final stage. The convulsions are generalized grand mal seizures-the whole body twitches and shakes, the arms and legs thrash around, and the eyes, sometimes bloody, roll up into the head. The tremors and convulsions of the patient may smear or splatter blood around. Possibly this epileptic splashing of Ebola is one of Ebola's strategies for success-it makes the victim go into a flurry of seizures as he dies, spreading blood all over the place, thus giving the virus a chance to jump to a new host-a kind of transmission through smearing."
