Dust by Joan Frances Turner
Urban Fantasy
September 7, 2010
Hardcover, 384 Pages
Ace Hardcover
Blurb: DUST is told from the point of view of Jessie Anne Porter, a young woman who died in a brutal car accident and only to be reborn as a zombie. Through the adventures of Jessie, Turner explores the psychological, emotional and social implications of an alternative reality in which zombies are sentient creatures. Turner’s zombies struggle with love and acceptance, anger and grief—allowing readers to face their own fears about life, death, and whatever comes after. Thoughtful, well-crafted and engaging, DUST adds a new dimension to everything you thought you knew about the living dead.

I've been hearing alot about this one, count me in! tWarner419@aol.com
I am loving the concept of this book – conscious zombies, so to speak. I've not encountered a zombie book from the perspective of an actual zombie before, so kudos to this spin on storytelling.
Thanks for the contest Mandi!! :D

Surreal concept, aware on a basic human conscious of what you've become and finding a semblance of acceptance. Dead like no other.
Would love to be entered in this drawing. Thanks! Indigo
