Description
After a life of peril and fear, Millie has reached the peace, beauty, and security of the afterlife. But one day, when she is performing her glad duty of welcoming a new spirit, that spirit recoils from her in horror — because her body had become a zombie, and had brutally killed him.
As more spirits make the same terrible discovery, they ask themselves, and each other: is this somehow my fault? When will it end? And finally: what can we do? Is there something we can do to stop this?
And are there people among the living who can help them to do it?
Advance Praise
"-- “That the Dead May Rest completely blindsided me in the best way!”
-- “Karen A. Wyle has crafted a haunting, deeply human story that takes place in two worlds. . . . By the end, I wasn’t just spooked. I was shaken, moved, and desperate for everyone else to read this so we can talk about it. . . . This is not just a must-read, it’s a must-experience.”
-- “The questions it raises, about grief, about what we carry with us, about what we leave behind, linger. If you’re looking for horror with depth, something that creeps into your thoughts and stays there, this is absolutely worth putting at the top of your TBR.”
-- “The concept is so unique — spirits and living people teaming up to fight a zombie apocalypse. . . . The pacing was tight, the dialogue worked, and the characters were engaging. There’s a lot going on in this little novel, but it all comes together in a cohesive way. Creative, well-executed, and very enjoyable.”
