Book description
After she was buried, Jessie awoke and tore through the earth to
arise, reborn, as a zombie. Jessie's gang is the Fly-by-Nights. She
loves the ancient, skeletal Florian and his memories of time gone by.
She's in love with Joe, a maggot-infested corpse. They fight, hunt,
dance together as one-something humans can never understand. There are
dark places humans have learned to avoid, lest they run into the
zombie gangs.
But now, Jessie and the Fly-by-Nights have seen new creatures in the
woods-things not human and not zombie. A strange new illness has
flamed up out of nowhere, causing the undeads to become more alive and
the living to exist on the brink of death. As bits and pieces of the
truth fall around Jessie, like the flesh off her bones, she'll have to
choose between looking away or staring down the madness-and hanging
onto everything she has come to know as life . . .
Joan Frances Turner was born in Rhode Island and grew up in the

a garden fill of tiger lilies.
