Thank you kindly for your nice words!

Recommendations wise...hmmm. If you've heard of Zero Punctuation before, than the name Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw will be familiar. He has written two fantastic books: Mogworld and Jam that are in the comedic narrator lead style - I highly recommend them!

Anything by Sir Terry Pratchett, though usually in the third person style, I have found to be an easy and funny (edit: hilarious, clever, there-aren't-enough-pleasant-adjectives-to-display-my-love-for-his-writing) romp. Who else? Umm.

I'm struggling to think of more, sorry. Er, my novels? That is, when I get around to finishing the damn things.

/r/Books may be a good place to ask. I'm drawing a blank, sorry.

Besides the aforementioned Hitchhiker's Guide series, I can recommend Mogworld and JAM, both by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. (Yes, that one.)

I can't think of anything else I'd recommend offhand.

Advantages:
Swearing is fun
Adds realism
Good way for characters to express frustration

Disadvantages:
Can't really sell it to kids, but it's a zombie apocalypse story so that probably wouldn't happen anyway
Can't think of any others, really


And on the whole - "I don't want to call them zombies" thing. Personally, I think that, if they are zombies, you should call them fucking zombies. I'm not a fan of the "don't say the zed word" thing. It's just silly. We know they're zombies, don't pretend they're not. There are a lot of zombie stories that try to be different, but still basically are zombie stories - maybe the zombies are fast, maybe they're intelligent, maybe they're fungus monsters. But they're still basically zombies.

It could be good to just have the apocalypse be caused by something else. Maybe it's dinosaurs. Maybe it's [jam.] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/cka/Jam-Yahtzee-Croshaw/1595829571) Or have it set somewhere other than a modern day first world country, for example. Pretty much every twist on the zombie story has been done.

If you want a story that feels a bit different, don't write a zombie story.

This book. I really enjoyed Croshaw's first book 'Mogworld', so I'm highly interested in reading his next book.

Also, X-Ray and Vav.
