If you relished Peter Mellor’s deadpan quips while he navigates Ohio cul-de-sacs, faculty politics, and the awkwardness of craving brains, you’ll click with the support-group snark and pitch-black humor in Breathers: A Zombie's Lament. Like Peter, Andy is a self-aware zombie trying to rejoin polite society, skewering everyday hypocrisies as he fumbles through “undeath etiquette” and ethically messy appetites. It’s equally funny, grim, and strangely tender.

You followed philosophy-prof-turned-zombie Peter Mellor as he questioned consciousness, memory, and whether a brain-eater can be good. Warm Bodies gives you another introspective undead voice: R, whose inner monologue probes identity, empathy, and the tug-of-war between appetite and ethics. If Peter’s reflections on personhood and the soul grabbed you, R’s search for meaning in a ruined world will, too.

Peter’s patchy recollections after his crash made you question what really happened—and what he might be hiding from himself. In The Last Days of Jack Sparks, brash journalist Jack insists he’s in control of his story, but leaked emails, conflicting testimonies, and his own omissions tell a different tale. If unraveling Peter’s unreliable narrative thrilled you, Jack’s spiraling self-documentation will keep you second-guessing every page.

If you enjoyed backing Peter Mellor—even as he rationalizes grisly choices and keeps secrets while pursuing his killer—you’ll appreciate the queasy fun of Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Dexter narrates with wit and precision as he balances everyday life with a compulsive urge to kill, justifying it by targeting monsters worse than himself. That same “I shouldn’t like this guy, but I do” energy is here in spades.

Peter’s mission to piece together the crash and uncover who wanted him dead gave Zombie, Ohio its propulsive core. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle delivers that same puzzle-box urgency: a protagonist trapped in a mind-bending loop must solve a murder under bizarre constraints, following clues, interrogating suspects, and outsmarting shifting rules. If you loved chasing leads with Peter, this intricate whodunit will hook you hard.
