Did I just burst someone's bubble?

I can understand how, if one turns her head to the side and squints, she might see my novel as "fantasy," but...I just had to send this email as a reply to Emlyn at Novel Publicity:

Yes, one question; where are you getting the zombie aspect? My book has nothing to do with zombies. I guess one could joke about Gentiola being a sort of zombie, but really, she's just talented. The survivors are totally healthy people who live in a post-apocalyptic world due to extreme loss of population density, but there are no zombies in my book.

OTOH, this is sort of funny. On the other, I'm a little concerned that she read my synopsis and decided: "Zombies! Oh boy!"

Okay: she confesses to having just skimmed after the first page. So, I still pass the test. I guess that's sort of what I get for not coming up with a name for my humanity-destroying disease aside from "The Plague." Bad Monster! Bad!
