Some Quick Changes —Oct. 4, 2012
Fervor just wasn't working. Switched that to a pair of Skirsdag High Priests and another Brimstone Volley. I'm still looking for another 1 or 2 drop to switch the Bloodthrone Vampires to. Falkenrath Noble or Vexing Devil would be great if I had some. Please, somebody catch that hint.
If you want to speed up your deck i would recomend mono red.
Stromkirk Noble is totally awesome, and grows every turn.
Tragic Slip is removal and i think its too slow, 4x Brimstone Volley is great.
Ash Zealot and Kruin Striker totally win games for me, because they put a ton of pressure on fast.
If you were to delve higher into red, Blood Artist is too slow and should be replaces with Stonewright , and Gore-House Chainwalker .
Just my two cents.

Heres, I'll go through each card that I think needs changing and then give you some of my suggestions. I'm going to also assume that every creature is here for a reason, but if some are strictly better i'll tell you.
Blood Artist : Awesome, keep 4x
Bloodcrazed Neonate : Good for the strategy. There's probably better stuff to get turn 2, but she serves your purpose well and can be kept if you so desire.
Bloodthrone Vampire : A bomb with Gravecrawler , but otherwise not so useful. Bloodflow Connoisseur is more permanent but still both are suboptimal to your theme.
Diregraf Ghoul , card:Geralf's Messenger, Rakdos Cackler , Gravecrawler : Keep the full 4 of each. Maybe even add Vexing Devil for some turn 1 BOOM!
Pillar of Flame is kind of slow yet effective. If budget is not an issue, then Bonfire of the Damned is a good choice, and Flames of the Firebrand or Street Spasm clears the way for you to win.
Lands look good, but you won't normally have enough black for the messenger. It should probably be: 4x Dragonskull Summit , 4x Blood Crypt , 4x mountain if you need to, then 8x swamp.
Brimstone Volley is a wonderful win card, budget too. Fling seems like it will win you the game too a lot.
Fervor : blech. not worth the three mana you spend on it.
Tragic Slip : awesome, full 4.
SUGGESTIONS:
Hellrider will be your finisher, or Thundermaw Hellkite . Desecration Demon and Falkenrath Aristocrat but they are more expensive.
Curse of Stalked Prey is a good idea, yet it does happen to limit your messenger. I would play it if you have room.
Hope this helps. Also for some inspiration check out my deck The Standard Zombies and +1 it. I am giving this +1 because it is good and effective.
