About this title

Review:

It's hard to say if this singular novel, which boasts a wicked sense of humor to round off the horror, should be eligible for an Edgar Award or a Bram Stoker or both. --Elliot Swanson, Booklist.

Waggoner introduces zombie PI Matthew Richter and his hometown of Nekropolis, thecity of the dead, in this imaginative, morbidly witty, and frightening series launch. Vivid description and characterization, as well as a complex, intricately crafted setting reminiscent of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" universe, keep the pages turning at a rapid rate...Both horror and mystery readers will be delighted by this horror-noir adventure. --Publishers Weekly
