Well, that's why we have blood-soaked zombies and literature, and rarely the twain shall meet - if ever.
I happen to like both, by the way.
If you enjoy reading literature, then I can heartily recommend this exquisite and beautiful novel that touches upon the realms of horror. This is a slow read, but a rewarding one.

Thanks for that. Sounds great. Now I just have to find time to read the thing.
