Okie's fifteen. She lives in New York. She's got a few problems: she's failing geography, her dad's a wimp, and her mother, Sumatra, is a stone cold bitch. But things get a lot worse when Sumatra turns into a zombie and eats Okie's dad. Clio, Okie's grandmother, lives in Toronto; but since the zombie apocalypse, Toronto's a lot further away than it used to be. Clio suggests that Okie transport Sumatra across the border, because family is family. But coaching Okie by cellphone isn't easy, and Clio has some zombies of her own to contend with. Luckily she has some garden tools. Naomi Alderman and Margaret Atwood team up for this unusual two-hander. Encompassing love, death, sex, and the meaning of family, The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home will surprise, delight, and convince you of the vital importance of keeping ready supplies of rhubarb and mini-wieners in your freezer at all times. The story unfolds beginning October 24.

Alec Wallace just wants to finish his thesis on how crime rates have fallen in Britain in the 2020's, never expecting that he'll meet Louise who shares with him the wonders and the passions of the latest in neuroscience. Neither realises they are becoming a threat to the government's biggest secret. While they battle to understand the full implications of that secret, they face up to such conundrums as free will, the ethics of prisoner reform, how to deal with home-grown terrorism, the politics of otherness, and the terror of the void. And in the end, they discover the burden and the possibilities of consciousness.
