Xombie: Dead On Arrival

Plot Summary

What if a zombie had a mind of its own? Where would it go? What would it feel? Would it, in fact, feel anything at all? What would the world be like without sleep, without touch - trapped in a body that is slowly turning to dust? Xombie is the story of Dirge, a dead man with a mind of his own, who struggles against his posthumous cravings (not to mention legions of the walking dead) to reunite a lost child with her family. With the help of his trusty undead canine Cerberus, our hero treks across the hostile future wastelands, facing zombified creatures of every shape and size. Can Dirge protect a small child against the unrelenting armies of the dead? Will he discover other zombies like himself? And if a monster (no matter how grotesque) saves a human life, is it really a monster after all?
