Best zombie horror story I ever read had a female lead. The kind of woman that would casually strip the pants off a corpse after putting it into permanent rest to make pads and be completely non chalant about it.

Ooh that sounds good. What was the name of the story?

The Huntress or something like that.

It's all just the heroes journey.
