After seventeen-year-old Nick Sole accidentally-on-purpose causes a major meat contamination incident at a processing plant, he finds himself confronted with a full-blown zombie outbreak. Beaudoin's blackly comedic tale takes zombie lore to new territory--with the outbreak's unusual origin and with its consideration of the next phase of human evolution. This satisfying read features an original voice, sly pop-culture references, and a twist ending.
