A Visual Feast: MR. ELKINS AND THE ZOMBIES OF ELBERT COUNTY

[Untreed]

They're so lifelike you could touch them, but don't:

Mr. Adorney did a great job describing the area where this tale took place. I could actually see the zombies dragging their feet along the ground as I turned the pages.

The full scoop can be found at Long and Short Reviews and a book excerpt is available at Untreed Reads.

Mr. Elkins and the Zombies of Elbert County by Thom Adorney:

When John Bell tells his family that he saw zombies crossing their farm one October night, he asks them the keep it quiet so as to not cause a panic. But when his first daughter, Cecelia, draws a picture of the zombies in school, the cat’s out of the bag.

Now, some in the conservative little town want the little girl expelled. Some want to exploit the zombies for publicity. The media outlets catch wind of it and are in a feeding frenzy. All John wants is to keep the town from descending into chaos. One thing's for sure - when the townsfolk descend on the Bell household to see the zombies for themselves, they're going to get a lot more than they bargained for.
