     EXCERPT

     

    Vampires have all the fun. They get all the good press, all the hip attention. Because vampires are about sex, of course! Everyone knows that! Illicit sex, forbidden sex, dangerous sex, the kind that swoops down on you, wraps you in its cloak and infects you against your will. Total loss of control. A ruby mouth at your throat. Ahhhh...

    So why I do I have this thing for zombie grrlz? I mean, it's not politically correct to hanker after mindless rotting corpses.

    Even werewolves have a better rep. They're Jungian, at least: getting in touch with your animal nature, fur, teeth, claw, the Call of the Wild, ahwooooo...

    Nobody ever wrote a book called "Women Who Run with The Zombies". Unless you can buy it in the business section. (CONTINUES )
