I'm currently reading A Chemical Fire by Brian Martinez which I believe is available at both Kindle and Smashwords. I'm not done so I can't quite recommend it, but so far I'm impressed. I'm not a zombie fan, and I'm still not 100% convinced he'll pull off the zombie stuff, but the first 1/4 or so of the book (before the chemical fire that leads to the zombification is extremely well done and dark on its own. The book starts off as the story of a man who after an accident is falling into addiction and then finds himself fighting zombies in a post-apocalyptic disaster zone. That first 1/4 was so strong and interesting on its own that had their been no disaster and no zombies I would have kept reading. It's certainly not like anything else I've read.
