Paperback, 5.25"x8" • 188 pages • Case: 56
Jude and Lyle's newlywed life is shattered when a vicious attack leaves Lyle infected with a disease that transforms him into a violent and often incomprehensible person. With no cure for the "zombie" virus in sight, the young husbands begin to face the last months they have together before Lyle loses himself completely.
Fond remembrances of young love meet the challenges of navigating a partner's terminal illness in this bittersweet tale that explores both how we fall in love and how we say goodbye when the time comes far too soon.
Praise for Elegy for the Undead
"Vesley’s eloquent debut reimagines the zombie novel as a tender reflection on the complexities of human relationships. . . . This unique, intimate zombie tale is sure to impress."—Publishers Weekly
"The end of the world is for everyone. With this novella, Vesely has made the apocalypse accessible in a way that is all too rare."
—Mira Grant, author of Feed
"The sweetest zombie story you'll ever read... True love can't stop a zombie takeover, though it is a welcome balm, in the bittersweet and restrained novel Elegy for the Undead."
—Michelle Anne Schingler, Foreword Reviews
“Jude and Lyle’s love story and fight to survive a zombie outbreak is truly compelling, yet the deeper story about watching your partner succumb to a terminal illness is what really grabbed me. So well done!”
—Sean E.D. Kerr, author of Life at the Death House
