Zom-B (alternatively known as the The Zom-B Chronicles) is a young adult zombie apocalyptic-thriller novel series by written by Irish author Darren O'Shaughnessy under the pen name Darren Shan. The series is told by first-person perspective of B Smith, a teenager turned into a zombie. Like Shan's previous series, Zom-B is notable for its extensive graphic violence, despite being aimed towards children, while also exploring themes of racism, xenophobia, and the sociological concept of "us and them".
