Writing Prompt: . . . and Zombies
There are a few kinds of characters that are always awesome. Pirates. Vampires. Vampire Pirates. Robots. Ninjas. And my personal favorite: Zombies. Don't know what it is, but I love zombie books, movies, video games, whatever. If I ever find some sweet heavy metal about zombies, that will probably be all I ever listen to for the rest of my life. The Haunting of Derek Stone: City of the Dead looks cool, but there definitely needs to be more zombie books out there.
I like asking “what if.” So in the absence of a dedicated zombie genre, I'd like to propose another game. Add “and zombies” to any book title you can think of, and let's just all imagine the hilarity that would ensue.
“If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Zombies”
“Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Zombies”
“The Old Man And the Sea and Zombies”
“Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Zombies”
Do it! Use your brains! Youuurrr deeelliiccciiouuusss brrraaaiiiinnnnssss . . .

What an idea you have given me! I think about 'Oliver Twist and Zombies', 'David Copperfield and Zombies', 'A Christmas Carol and Zombies', etc.

The Secret Life Of Sparrow Delaney...and zombies
Green eggs and ham...and zombies
The Hunger Games...and zommbies
I can't think of any others.... But I have heard of a zombie book titled "You are so Undead to me" (young adult) I don't know the author, but the cover has like a girl in a soccer outfit and one foot on a soccer ball.

A Tree (and Zombies) Grows in Brooklyn
Annie Between the States and Zombies -I don't think
that would count as a suitable historical fiction report!

anne of green gables and zombies
one fish two fish red fish blue fish and zombies
but i'm not terribly fond of zombies. on a scale of one to ten where one is "that's about the least scary thing you could think of" and ten is "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?! YOU FREAKED ME OUT!" I give zombies a nine. (vampires get ten

Yes vampires are certainly cooler than zombies. But I'll humor the prompt anyway.
Twilight and Zombies
Gossip Girl and Zombies
The Clique and Zombies
By the way, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an actual book out there. I've been meaning to read it. The cover just cracks me up. :)
