Publisher Notes

Mourning the death of her best friend Marshall, Sara finds comfort in horror movies. Marshall's mother Harriet grieves by immersing herself in farm work. Then there is 16-year-old Boris who dreams of writing the ultimate zombie novel and of his beautiful, but savage classmate Rex. This fascination sets in motion a violent chain of events that leads the novel to its brutal and startling conclusion.

Media Reviews

"[Heim] has produced a dense, unruly novel--nasty, frightening, but with a distinctive aspiration of spirit. Those who give themselves to it will be haunted."
