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.
Spectacular scenes of chaos and horror in a
flood-drenched Chattanooga invigorate Priest's third Eden Moore
fantasy (after 2006's Wings to the Kingdom). A devastating storm
swells the Tennessee River to dam-breaking levels on the eve of Eden's
planned move into a new riverside apartment complex. With the gushing
waters comes a tide of corpses sunk in the river for more than a
century, now animated and organized by a malignant force with an
inscrutable purpose. When psychic investigator Eden realizes that the
zombie army is converging on historic Read House, she draws a
connection to the ghost of Caroline Read, who haunts the building
trying to resolve a hushed-up 19th-century atrocity. Although talky
and too dependent on convenient last-minute information, Priest's tale
crackles with action and occult thrills, especially in the scenes of
the inundated city reeling under the double assault of Mother Nature
and the supernatural. Fans will find this her most assured outing yet.
