Cape Town, Khayelitsha. The dead have come back to life. Everything’s better with zombies – not. This is a fun, youthful romp around class, prejudice, religion, and how awful people can be when the world ends. This is an overtly YA book, and enormous amounts of fun. The pair that make up the pseudonymous Lily Herne display a serious handle on the craft of storytelling, how to keep readers drawn in and interested, foreshadowing just enough to spin a compelling yarn. Only this yarn is made up of zombie flesh and the Resurrectionists who worship them. A damn fine read.
Get it here (UK) or here (US – but seems to be import only)
