Resented by his parents, abandoned by his friends, and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting to his new existence. But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls in Rita, an impossibly sexy recent suicide with a taste for the formaldehyde in cosmetic products, and Jerry, a twenty-one-year-old car crash victim with an exposed brain and a penchant for Renaissance pornography. When the group meets a rogue zombie who teaches them the joys of human flesh, things start to get messy, and Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will take him from his casket, to the SPCA, to a media-driven class-action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere.<br><br>Darkly funny, surprisingly touching, and gory enough to satisfy even the most discerning reader, <i>Breathers</i> is a romantic zombie comedy (rom-zom-com, for short) that will leave you laughing, squirming, and clamoring for more.</p> 5216497 3 3 2009 Breathers: A Zombie's Lament total:451|5:91|4:202|3:119|2:28|1:11| 451 1687 878 162 4 16 false false Fri Apr 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 19:44:44 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 20:15:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 8 false false Mon Apr 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 12:42:14 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 04:04:03 -0700 2009 4 2 false false Thu Mar 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 10:13:26 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 12:44:06 -0700 2009 4 1 false true Mon Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 20:16:57 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 15:12:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 17:07:57 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 16:25:44 -0700 2009
