Zone One / Colson Whitehead / 259 pages / December Challenge Apocalyptic Literature

I'm sorry to say that this was the most boring post-apocalyptic horror novel I have ever read.  It did finally become a page-turner at the very end, but the ending was anything but hopeful.  Of course, we have a plague and zombies, but here we also have skels - zombies who are harmlessly frozen in what they were doing on Last Night.  Mark Spitz (not his real name) is one of a team of three civilian volunteers assigned to sweep New York City streets of these stragglers.  It is an easy job turned horrific.
