Poems from the darkest of minds. This collection of disturbing poems comes straight from the thoughts and experiences of our darkest nightmares themselves.

In life we wish for our dreams, fantasy and fabled lands of our imagination to come to life. Low-key nerd/well rounded student AJ is beginning to tire of the humdrum life us humans take part in and is starting to become a peculiarly vivid dreamer. She begins to see her fairytale lands of monsters, elves,wizards, and heroes come to life only, in a very different way. Dreams may not always become reality for a lost soul finishing high school, but if you look hard enough and believe, things might start to look up.

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.
