If she likes zombie vampires (or something like that) the strain trilogy is good.

its more horror comedy than fantasy but john dies at the end by David Wong is a very funny / scary read, its described as a cross between douglas adams and stephen king, started out as an internet blog got published and a movie is due to be released shortly.

There is also a sequel out now called this book is full of spiders...seriously dude don't touch it, which I have bought but not got round to reading yet.

the title kind of ruins the ending, though.

I am Legend by Richard Matheson. Forget the film ever existed (like that's hard), it completely changed/ruined the ending, and even contradicted the very reason why the book itself is called 'I am Legend'. The book is insanely good.
