FOREVER ZOMBIE:
A Collection of
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.
The zombies rose and walked, the country went mad, and
then the zombies laid down again---all without committing a single act
of violence. Song of the Living Dead is a satire and an elegy, a
patchwork oral history of the strangest plague in world history. While
scholars, politicians, and common citizens share their insights on
this fictional madness, the restless dreamer Lionel tells his own
story. Traveling randomly across the east with a group of close
friends, he witnesses first-hand the nightmarish confusion that the
living dead bring upon the land. It's a story of one man's despair
over his country's inability to unite in crisis, a tale of sudden,
random violence and illusions of America's greatness gone askew. When
the zombies rise a second time and become anything but docile, the
tale becomes even darker, as Lionel struggles to understand the design
of a universe lost in the realm of B-horror movies—and more vivid
real-life tragedies.
