I’m not a huge fan of zombie books. I love zombie movies, but zombie books don’t necessarily appeal to me. Even so, Dust by Joan Frances Turner
That one is my favorite, but this one is funny too:
and this one:
Aren’t those hilarious? Brought to you by the The Equal Rights for Zombies Association? Ha!
Nine years ago, Jessie had a family.
Now, she has a gang.
Nine years ago, Jessie was a vegetarian.
Now, she eats very fresh meat.
Nine years ago,
Jessie was in a car crash and died.
Nine years ago, Jessie was human.
Now, she’s not.After she was buried, Jessie awoke and tore through the earth to arise, reborn, as a zombie. Jessie’s gang is the Fly-by-Nights. She loves the ancient, skeletal Florian and his memories of time gone by. She’s in love with Joe, a maggot-infested corpse. They fight, hunt, dance together as one—something humans can never understand. There are dark places humans have learned to avoid, lest they run into the zombie gangs.
But now, Jessie and the Fly-by-Nights have seen new creatures in the woods—things not human and not zombie. A strange new illness has flamed up out of nowhere, causing the undeads to become more alive and the living to exist on the brink of death. As bits and pieces of the truth fall around Jessie, like the flesh off her bones, she’ll have to choose between looking away or staring down the madness—and hanging onto everything she has come to know as life…

Zombies: immortality without the inherent sexiness? Not that they can’t be sexy; it’s just that it’s hard to beat vampires and their necking in terms of sexiness. However, I’m willing to be open-minded about this and see what “Dust” has to say about it. 🙂

Zombies are part of the paranormal–so they should be included.

honestly, I haven’t read a book about a zombie so far, but it sounds interesting…
and yeah, I would say give them equal rights – in the different worlds of the paranormal books anything is possible.
