A little excerpt from my WIP that I'm writing for my Daughter. It's a YA Horror novel titled Appendix Z. Let me know what you think

The beast that stood before me, its huge body blocking the window frame, didn’t look like the zombies that had surrounded the building up until that morning. The zombies were average, human size…The new thing, whatever it was, stood a good foot taller than the tallest person I’d ever seen. The black patches of skin that stood out as a trademark on the zombies were also present on the new creature, but the skin itself looked slicker, stronger, and redder. Like interwoven, thick cables, the creature’s muscles covered its body, with the exception of the middle of its chest, where a large, head-sized hole sank into a darkness so black, I thought it might pull me in. All of the previous person’s hair was gone, replaced by an extra helping of thick, red skin that seemed to twist back into a sort of horn behind its head. It stared at me, not with the hungry eyes of a wild thing, but the cold, calculating piercing stare of a snake. I took a step backward and it responded by spreading its wide, paper-thin wings and hissed at me through teeth that would have given Dracula a complex. It’s looked familiar to me, but not completely. I knew, somehow that it wasn’t exactly a vampire, but what someone, or something thought that a vampire should look like.
