Review: "Zombie," Joyce Carol Oates

Writers, read this for: voice, extreme character (told in in the point of view of a psychopathic killer who seeks to make his own zombie)

A fast, smooth, gripping read, dark humor, but deeply disturbing. Literary horror. It won a Bram Stoker Award in 1996. Not a zombie story — this is about a serial killer.
