The Original Photos From the Shoot where the cover shot was taken. Zombie not included. This should also clear up the rumor that Emma Watson was the girl on the cover.

Thanks to Michelle the Book Junkie for pointing this out.

The Undercover Book Lover Review

Written with an addictive, funny prose, I Kissed a Zombie and I Liked It is a fun, crazy, parody. And in irony to that, it has deep messages that interconnect with our lives today. It's a whole blend of comedy, cleverness, and paranormal!
