In My Life as a White Trash Zombie, did you enjoy ...
... the morbid, deadpan humor about corpses, cravings, and bad decisions?
John Dies at the End by David Wong
If the way Angel keeps cracking wise between autopsy cleanups and brain "smoothies" made you grin, you’ll vibe with the outrageous, gross-out comedy of John Dies at the End. David and John lurch from one grotesque supernatural mess to another with the same kind of wrong-but-right gallows humor Angel uses while juggling morgue duty and her very inconvenient undead diet.
... a scrappy, morally gray protagonist clawing their way back from the brink?
Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey
You liked watching Angel hustle her way out of a dead-end life—probation, junker car, and all—while hiding a very undead secret and hunting a decapitating killer. In Sandman Slim, James Stark crawls out of literal Hell to settle scores in Los Angeles, wielding the same grimy determination and razor-edged snark. If Angel’s survival instincts and not-quite-heroic choices hooked you, Stark’s take-no-prisoners revenge tour will hit the same sweet spot.
... watching a newly undead woman rebuild her life, confidence, and relationships with plenty of snark?
Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper
Angel turning her undead curse into a second chance—showing up on time at the Louisiana morgue, proving herself during messy autopsies, and kicking addiction—parallels Jane Jameson’s makeover after an accidental vampiric turning. Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs delivers the same heartfelt, funny arc as Jane learns the rules of her new body, navigates romance, and stands up for herself like Angel does when she decides she’s done being a screwup.
... a witty, first-person voice narrating crime-scene weirdness and forensics-adjacent sleuthing?
Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch
If Angel’s candid, no-BS narration pulled you through morgue shifts, evidence bags, and a serial-killer mystery, Peter Grant’s voice in Midnight Riot will feel like home. He’s a London cop apprenticed to a wizard-detective, quipping through grisly scenes and geeking out over autopsies with Dr. Walid—much like Angel’s behind-the-sheets view of bodies and clues, just with ghosts and river gods tossed in.
... a contemporary city’s underworld where the undead navigate jobs, secrets, and supernatural crime?
Half-Resurrection Blues by Daniel José Older
Angel balancing her day job at the parish morgue with nightmarish cravings and an investigation into headless corpses has a kindred spirit in Carlos Delacruz, an in-between dead guy working off-the-books cases for the New York Council of the Dead. Half-Resurrection Blues serves the same urban-fantasy mix of street-level grit, humor, and the practical problems of being undead in a very living city.
