"HOLY &$#!* ZOMBIES!"
Many of my friends will have seen, or at least been pointed to, this already. For the rest of you, since it's kinda cool, I'm providing the link here.
So seanan_mcguire, writing as Mira Grant, has this Newsflesh trilogy. The first book, Feed, came out last year and is nominated for the 2011 Hugo Award for Best Novel. The second book, Deadline, came out last week. (Tuesday, 31 May to be precise. Actually finding a copy at B&N in Center Valley this past weekend? Not a simple task when they hadn't even put the book out on the shelves by Friday evening. Sheesh.)
The publisher, Orbit, has now put out a video trailer for the book(s), and that was a cool thing to do, and so I'm pointing you at it. Yes there are zombies involved, but no zombies are depicted in the trailer. (It's not exactly a high budget trailer -- just narration, and words, with effects -- but it's a *book* promo. Words are appropriate, IMO.)
Seanan has a few more links to related stuff in her own LJ post.
