The idea of the story is to help people empathise with the zombies.
2 chapters were planned that were soley from the zombie protagonist. Yes, entire paragraphs were filled with 'hurrrrrrrrrrrrr'. It adds to the effect.

As mentioned above, I don't want to change what a zombie is to suit my story, I want it to be recognised as a definitive zombie story.

what a zombie is was never that well defined though
there is wiggle room. I agree that if it runs fast it's not a fucking zombie, but like.
There is nothing to stop you from going "the person the zombie used to be is still in there, only whenever he tries to say please pass the sugar it comes out hurrrrr" for instance.

If I went vampire I'd just be cashing in on a shitty subculture that I don't want to encourage.

Also: society wouldn't accept a bunch of factory slaves with porphyria.
If they're mindless it's not so much of an issue.
