It could be interpreted that way. I guess it depends on whether the zombie feeds on their life-force or just causes it to cease. It could be a spiritual version of necrosis, with the soul rotting away instead of being drained.

Earlier today I thought of something else- toxic friends. Do you think the two could be tied together in some way?
