The dead boy reached for her,
his pale eyes glowing in the darkness.
All over the country, teenagers who die aren't staying dead.
Against her better judgement, Phoebe finds herself drawn to Tommy Williams. He's gorgeous, funny, on the football team. And dead.
But not everybody is as accepting as Phoebe. There are those whow ould like to rid the community of this sinister phenomenon, and they'll stop at nothing to achieve it...
Generation Dead is one of the only zombie books that doesn't focus on the zombies, but rather their relationships with regular people. This book takes a completly different angle on the 'zombie' image, with the zombies maintaining their compassionate side.
The main characters are Phoebe Kendall; a regular gothic girl in America, Tommy Williams; a 'differently biotic' boy trying to find acceptance for his fellow zombies and Adam Layman; a regular guy on the football team, in love with Phoebe, struggling with his old friends and their psychotic mannerisms.
It's a really touching book, with a sharp twist at the end that had me reaching for the tissue box. Daniel Waters has done a superb job covering this topic, and the sequel 'Kiss of Life' is set to be brilliant too.
