One sentence synopsis: Tainted meat turns a small farming town into a parasitic zombie war zone only a vegetarian can handle.  

Ally Carson reluctantly returns home after receiving a panicked call about her parents death. Two days later she's standing in a town she swore she'd never come back to. What Ally doesn't realize is she just entered into a parasitic war zone where the dead will soon out number the living. The warning on the welcome sign should have been a red flag. Don't eat the meat. Don't drink the water. Don't get sick. Thank God she's a vegetarian.

It comes in five stages.
Stage one: Contamination. Don't eat the meat. Don't drink the water.  
Stage two: Black mouth. It's like cotton mouth, only your teeth fall out of your head and you mouth turns black. It's good times for everyone. 
Stage three: Coma. Think of this as a nice vacation from puking and shitting your guts out, literally.  
Stage four: Death. Sadly, for most people, this stage doesn't come soon enough. 
Stage five: Reanimation. Or the "Ah, hell no!" stage.All Rights Reserved
