About this listen

The best teen zombie werewolf witchy faerie fantasy murder mystery you've ever heard - by debut author, Hal Schrieve.

Genderqueer 14-year-old Z Chilworth has to adjust quickly to their new status as a zombie after waking from death from a car crash that killed their parents and sisters. Always a talented witch, Z now can barely perform magic and is rapidly decaying. Faced with rejection from their remaining family members and old friends, Z moves in with their mother's friend, Mrs. Dunnigan, and befriends Aysel, a loud would-be goth classmate who is, like Z, a loner.

As Z struggles to find a way to repair the broken magical seal holding their body together, Aysel fears that her classmates will discover her status as an unregistered werewolf. When a local psychiatrist is murdered by what seems to be werewolves, the town of Salem, Oregon, becomes even more hostile to "monsters", and Z and Aysel are driven together in an attempt to survive a place where most people wish that neither of them existed.

Rarely has a first-time author created characters of such immediacy and power as Z, Aysel, Tommy (suspected fey), and Elaine (also a werewolf), or a world that parallels our own so clearly and disturbingly.

This book is brilliant, and the narration is too. I was totally blown away by both. The narrator really made it come alive... I LOVED the characters and their voices. Thank you so much, Hal and Natasha. This audiobook is IMPORTANT and meant a lot to me

F-ING BRILLIANT

at least I'm assuming the author didn't write misgendering into the story on purpose? but the reader messes up SEVERAL times. how hard is it to do another take? come on.

the story itself is good and engaging but the misgendering takes me completely out of it every time. it really sucks! they/thems can't escape it.

reader repeatedly misgenders a trans character :/
