Welcome to Litsy!

In the wake of an infection that has left Baton Rouge unsettled and roiling with the �undead�, three young friends � Mazoch, Vermaelen and Rachel � band together to search for Mazoch�s missing father. Their mission is to visit all the places he once lingered: his favourite fast food restaurants, the movie theatre he frequented with his son and the city park. As hurricane season looms, uncertainty and suspicion of each other�s motives threatens to pull the group apart, but still, the friends� search continues. Over the course of a week, day after day, they haunt the places Mazoch�s father once haunted, confronting the same persistent hope that faces all who grieve: that whomever, whatever they have lost, will return to them, in one shape or another. Turning typical zombie fare on its head, Bennett Sims delivers a wise and philosophical rumination on the nature of memory and loss in this remarkable debut novel.
