I've been discussing vampires here and elsewhere, and then a friend sent me her new novel which looks like a typical romance but go inside This Side of Death by Kelly Fitzpatrick! Her honey gets zombieized and this is one wacky, hilarious romp and one tough heroine because the zombie smells like the city dumb and can only mumble a few words but she clings faithfully. Vampires can often be portrayed as glamorous, but a zombie is a zombie. I did a short short story about one that was published in a Pill Hill Anthology and then went into Nine Horoscope-in-Catsup Stories, an anthology of stories set in Mudflat. Trust me, I did not try to make the zombie lovable because it never occurred to me she could be. Anybody else had any luck creating a lovable zombie? Or not? - Phoebe
