Illustrated by
Scott Campbell.
Lonely Mortimer the zombie tries hard to woo a sweetheart using chocolates (with worms), a heart (real), and a shiny ring (still on a finger). A unique personal ad--"If you like taking walks in the graveyard..."--builds tension as Mortimer waits for a match. Muted watercolor illustrations take the edge off the macabre by infusing humorous details throughout the zombie love story.
