Dust by Joan Frances Turner

I participate with a website called BzzAgent that allows me to get free samples of products, coupons, and sneak peaks. One campaign I am currently in is the release of the new novel Dust. I only got the 25 pages, but it has been an interesting read that I will probably have to rent from the library to finish since I started it. I have never read any gruesome, zombie type books before so this was definately a change and I found myself grossed out but unable to stop reading. Unfortunately, with only having the first 25 pages I pretty much was just introduced to the characters and how they got to where they are as zombies. I didn't even get into the ploto the book, hence the reason I will have to rent it. Anyway, if you are interested below is the official review on it and a link to Joan Frances Turners website for more info.

After she was buried, Jessie awoke and tore through the earth to arise, reborn, as a zombie. Jessie’s gang is the Fly-by-Nights. She loves the ancient, skeletal Florian and his memories of time gone by. She’s in love with Joe, a maggot-infested corpse. They fight, hunt, dance together as one — something humans can never understand. There are dark places humans have learned to avoid, lest they run into the zombie gangs.

But now, Jessie and the Fly-by-Nights have seen new creatures in the woods —things not human and not zombie. A strange new illness has flamed up out of nowhere, causing the undeads to become more alive and the living to exist on the brink of death. As bits and pieces of the truth fall around Jessie, like the flesh off her bones, she’ll have to choose between looking away or staring down the madness — and hanging onto everything she has come to know as life.
