It's the first in a trilogy, but it's actually Cronin's fourth book - but the others aren't in the same genre (I'm not sure what they are but they aren't horror or apocalyptic fiction).
I thought the creatures were more like some kind of demon vampire than a zombie, like the really old style vampires - "nosferatu" etc.
Awesome book though. I loved it. The only complaints I might have is that there was rarely any good stuff happening to anyone and a few time a couple of the characters made decisions that didn't really make a lot of sense to me (all subjective I guess).
