Dead Real

Nora Inkwell is totally, completely, absolutely going to tell her best friend and fellow horror movie superfan, Ruby, that she's in love with her. It doesn't matter that Baxter from Body Combat wrote on the college wall that Nora's frigid. Or that Ruby is more interested in losing her lesbian v-plates before they start university. And it certainly doesn't matter that Nora's old school friends said that all bisexuals are attention-seeking wannabes! ...

It might matter that the entire town has turned into flesh-eating zombies. Guess there's no time like the (deadly, dangerous, zombie-swamped) present to confess your *undying* love.


'Fresh, funny and fierce, I devoured this debut! Who doesn't need a zombie adventure with a delicious romance entwined amongst escape tunnels, cricket bats and shark tanks?! Tender, honest and absolutely brilliant fun.' Kathryn Evans

'Fresh, fearless and fun, DEAD REAL gives zombies a whole new lease of life. A terrific debut.' Jonathan Stroud


'With a cast of kick-ass characters to root for, it's super cute and gasp-out-loud gory ... and I loved every second!' Simon James Green
