Undead Guy Tales
Due: Fall
2009
Preview: Read one of the zombie tales from
Forever Zombie: A
Collection of Undead Guy Tales right now! Check out
Every
Death You Take, just one of the many tales in this anthology.
As Wellington's horrifyingly entertaining
zombie-apocalypse trilogy wraps up, the shambling masses have
prevailed for 12 years. An army too coordinated to consist of ordinary
undead attacks Ayaan's Egypt-based group of the living out of nowhere,
and Ayaan falls to the lich commander the Tzarevich. A ghost who
taught Sarah how to see the auras of the undead tells her Ayaan is
still alive, and she sets out with the pilot Osman and some friendly
mummies, who want to rescue those of their number the Tzarevich has
captured, to rescue Ayaan or, if necessary, to "sanitize" her so she
doesn't return as a zombie. The rescuers follow the Tzarevich's forces
to New York and, eventually, the Source, where everyone has plans. The
Tzarevich wants to control the Source to rebuild as he sees fit. Mad
Welsh sorcerer Mael Mag Och wants to destroy the world. Sarah has to
answer a very important question to keep either from having his way.
Wellington handles the zombie matter with just the right balancing of
tension and humor.
