Right. I'm not saying the book predates Romero. But the book is about the older Caribbean zombie rather than the Romero ones (though the current synopsis seems to want to fool you there).
The second Amazon US reviewer quotes the back of the older edition:

When June arrives in St Miquelon, the Caribbean island is far removed from the tropical idyll she imagined. The exotic estate owned by her grandmother has become a barren ruin. And Marie Lasneque, the grandmother she never knew, is rumoured to be dead. But within the heart of that lonely house, a legacy of living death is waiting for nightfall. And the moment when June will learn the horrifying truth about the voodoo island and its hideous cult of bloody sacrifice to their black magic woman..Marie Lasneque.
