With a psychotic clown and demons after him, zombie Ed is put under the protection of Evil Clive. But unable to watch his friends suffer on his behalf, Ed sets out to find Kambo Cheapteeth and settle things once and for all. Darkly humorous and seriously gross, this second story is exciting and surprisingly emotional. Black-and-white illustrations are more funny than gruesome.

After getting run over by a truck, thirteen-year-old Ed inexplicably awakens as a zombie, whose detached right arm tries to kill him. Ed and his werewolf buddy Max must figure out how to stop the arm, which is wreaking havoc among all of the undead. Lots of humorous illustrations and a gross story may appeal mainly to reluctant readers.
