Book Description: Being a zombie is no picnic and it's one hell of a handicap in the romance department when you fall in love with a 'breather': Aleta is a breather with short blonde hair and brown eyes - two of them! - and the whitest smile Fred has ever seen. Every day at a certain time she sits at her window, and every day he stands in the rubble across the street among a crowd of zombies waiting to break through the fence and eat her. 'You are beautiful, like an angel', he thinks, but all he can moan is, “Braaaiiinss." Still, as zombies go, Fred's quite a catch. Underneath all the gangrene and rot, Fred is different. This girl will probably turn out to be yet another dead end, an infatuation, someone whose image he cannot get out of his mind and whose taste he cannot get out of his mouth, but the heart wants what the heart wants. For breathers, it is always only a matter of time, however beautiful they are and whatever the government is assuring people. Which makes Fred sad because he has a beautiful 11 year old son called Timmy, and Timmy may still be alive.
Character Interview with Jon Tanner
Hiya!
My name is Jon Tanner, and I am what
passes for the hero in “I’ve Been Deader.” I mean, it’s
between me and a middle aged zombie so I guess you could say the fix
was in. I’m in my late thirties, classically handsome and,
according to some (may the rest in peace), a psychopath.
Yes, I’ve had my share of bad
relationships with the dear departed. I may have abandoned the odd
child or two to their certain demise. But when it comes to killing
zombies, I’m the cat’s meow, baby.
