Never Trust a Zombie Paul Brodie

Eric Sterling's family has just moved. Again. He is so sick of moving and can't wait to finish the last five months of senior year in high school so he can set out on his own and settle down. Eric has never been a big fan of transition. Little does he know the move to Cranston, TX will bring about a bigger transition than he could ever have imagined. Scientists researching Alzheimer's treatments are accidentally exposed to a virus that takes control of a body's nervous system. When the brain reanimates it operates almost exactly like it did before the person died. Almost. Eric, who just wanted to finish high school and get on with his life, finds himself facing a life of death instead. Will he survive high school? Will he survive Cranston? Never Trust a Zombie attempts to do for zombies what Twilight did for vampires, that is, make them lovable. Who says zombies have to be portrayed as brain eating, slow moving corpses? Not me. With neuroscience fiction and humor throughout, Never Trust a Zombie is an easy and fun read, offering a different perspective on the zombie genre.
