Breathers: A Zombie's Lament by S.G. Browne
5.0
If you've never had a masturbatory fantasy about what would happen if Chuck Palahniuk and Alan Ball had a zombie love child, then you probably wouldn't understand.
No, seriously. Read 'Rant' while watching 'TrueBlood', and you have 'Breathers: A Zombie's Lament'. I'm not saying this is a bad thing. I LOVE those two things, and I think the world needs more literature that falls in that space. True, there's no undead fight club or (un)dead models slouched over a dentist chair, but I like to think that there's just enough black humor and strange facts to keep a little goth reader like myself happy - the information about formaldehyde in beauty products and heads in chicken-trays fell straight out of Mary Roach's 'Stiff', and the subtle but amazing insertion of Oingo Boingo's 'Dead Man's Party' was like a party David Hornsby would have thrown (if he had been a goth kid in high school). Reeking of Jack Daniels-soaked brains that have read too many Chuck P books (no such thing), Breathers is by far my new favorite zombie book...and I'm a vampire girl.
