Full Synopsis
When rural Ohio college professor Peter Mellor dies in an automobile accident during a zombie outbreak, he is reborn as a highly intelligent (yet somewhat amnesiac) member of the living dead. With society decomposing before his eyes and violence escalating into daily life, Peter quickly learns that being a zombie isn't all fun and brains. Humans—generally unsympathetic to his new proclivities—try to kill him at nearly every opportunity. His old friends are loath to associate with him. And he finds himself inconveniently addicted to the gooey stuff inside of people's heads.

As if all this weren't bad enough, Peter soon learns that his automobile accident was no accident at all. Faced with the harrowing mystery of his death, Peter resolves to use his strange zombie "afterlife" to solve his own murder.

Skillfully combining horror, humor, and film noir, Zombie, Ohio makes for an enthralling and innovative tale that any fan of the current zombie craze is sure to relish. Followers of detective fiction and horror fiction alike will find something to love about Zombie, Ohio—a tale of murder, mystery, and the walking dead.

"George Romero . . . should snap up the rights to this novel. It has everything: zombies, gore, brain-eating, love, death, even a murder mystery. . . . Kenemore combines humor with horror in a way that is guaranteed to make any zombie fan stand up and shout, Braaaaaains!" ---Booklist

"Kenemore's debut is a darkly humorous depiction of one zombie's struggle for enlightenment and redemption. . . . There's plenty to satisfy zombie fans who've come to expect some philosophy with their gore." ---Publishers Weekly

"A delicious slice of undead Americana. Funny, tragic, and nicely weird---it's Monty Python meets Night of the Living Dead. Definitely take a bite out of this one!" ---Jonathan Maberry, author of Rot & Ruin
