Colson Whitehead, Zone One

You know how to really destroy a city? Mix in some zombies, naturally. In this novel, downtown Manhattan has been dubbed Zone One, and while most of the zombies have been cleaned out by the Marines, the deeply mediocre Mark Spitz is part of the cleanup crew eliminating stragglers—so that the city can be inhabited by the living again.

Zone One is among Ceridwen Christensen's six top zombie novels and Corey J. White's five top books about the collapse of New York City.
