Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A novel by Colson Whitehead set during the Zombie Apocalypse. Humanity is trying to wipe out the remaining zombies while restarting civilization, with the impromptu government based in Buffalo. The main character, Mark Spitz, is a "sweeper" in a reclaimed section of lower Manhattan, called Zone One. His job is to clear stragglers out of buildings within the safe zone so that new tenants can eventually move in.

Not Using the "Z" Word: The undead are called "skels" because the years of plague have reduced them to little more than skeletons

Purple Prose: As a "literary" zombie novel, Zone One strays into this territory frequently. Mark Spitz, as The Narrator, often goes into a flashback...and stays there for a long, rambling monologue.

Our Zombies Are Different: In addition to the usual flesh-eating, plague-bearing kind, there are also "stragglers", which seem to be frozen mid-action and do not move, notice people, or bite (at first)

Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain: Although there is occasional mention of soldiers shooting fresher skels in the torso, Mark Spitz makes a point of sticking to head shots.
