    About this ebook

    As a mysterious virus spreads up through North America, people are trying to come to grips with its symptoms. Are the dead returning to walk among the living? Some people find the notion utterly ridiculous. Others are holding out judgment. It won't be long, however, before denial is no longer an option. This is a short story introducing the novel, Corpse Days.

      Nobody died that year. Nobody prospered. There were no births or marriages. Seventeen reverent satires were written – disrupting a cliché and, presumably, creating a genre. That was a dream, of course, but many of the most important things, I fi nd,

      Me neither.

      "Yeah, well, if my dad had it his way, I’d be locked in a tower awaiting a handsome prince."

      Doesn’t sound half bad.

      So, what about you? Are you going?

      Nobody’s asked me yet.

      Aw, Lindsay. Don’t even worry about it.
