*The Invasion of the Body Snatchers* did, of course, spring to mind during my read, Jan. And you neatly got over the *Night of the Living Dead* and Michael Jackson cliche by making the single yellow-mellow-custard-eyed, flesh dripping introduction to the first zombie a dream scene. Your creatures are undeniably and oh-so-disturbingly real ... but with all the heart and soul of hell's puppets. I think zombie fans would love this sublimely subtle piece of work just as much as did I (no great zombie fan [last week]) ... for the very reason that it's so darned horrifyingly real that it could be happening when you're not looking -- LIKE RIGHT NOW!
