Posthumous: Book One

by David S E Zapanta

Overview

5 THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE UNDEAD:

1. The undead neither crave nor consume brain matter in its raw form.
2. The undead are capable of rational thought and deep, complex emotions.
3. A post-life body can only be reanimated by witch doctors.
4. A posthumous life is considered the ultimate second chance.
5. A newly reanimated corpse is considered a blank slate--or "cadabra rasa."

Welcome to the world of POSTHUMOUS, where being undead is not only a choice, but also the ultimate second chance.

In these Living States of America, Resurrectionists, Cremationists, and Burialists grapple with racial equality, patriotism, self-sacrifice, social unrest, broken hearts, failed marriages, and life-altering regret.

Bold, poignant, and at times darkly humorous and disturbing, POSTHUMOUS explores an alternate-reality America, a country divided not only by rampant necrophobia, but also by a massive border wall known as Burly Gate.

Discover for yourself why death is only the beginning.

About the Author

In the early 90s, under the auspices of Screaming Rice Press, David S.E. Zapanta created and published the comic book HAIRBAT, about a man who gets a large, talking bat permanently ensnarled within his curly mane.

In 2005, Mr. Zapanta launched Melancholy Greetings. These so-called "Blank Cards for Empty Lives" are available for purchase in stores and online.

Mr. Zapanta's newest creative endeavor is POSTHUMOUS, a speculative novel that delves into a universe in which sentient zombies reside alongside their uneasy living counterparts.

He is currently working on books 2 and 3 of the CADABRA RASA series. Subscribe to David S.E. Zapanta's author page to receive email updates about book 2: BEFORE & AFTER LIFE....!
