Dead Real

  • “Fresh, fearless and fun, Dead Real gives zombies a whole new lease of life. A terrific debut.’”

    Jonathan Stroud

  • “With a cast of kick-ass characters, it’s super cute and gasp-out-loud gory . . . I loved every second!”

    Simon James Green

  • “I devoured this debut! Tender, honest and absolutely brilliant fun. It’s so much more than a zombie book.”

‘Think Heartstopper meets Shaun of the Dead.’

Nora Inkwell is ready to tell her best friend Ruby that she’s in love with her. Sure, there are a few obstacles—college gossip, internalised biphobia, Ruby’s romantic detours... oh, and a zombie apocalypse. With the undead at her heels, Nora has to fight monsters, dodge drama, and maybe—just maybe—survive long enough to confess her undying love.

An illustrated coming of age rom com with zombies.
