The Civil War comes to an abrupt end when the dead rise at Gettysburg. The dead walk the earth as zombies (called shamblers.) The job of putting them down goes predominantly to Black folks.Our protagonist is a Black girl named Jane, trained in fighting and killing the unnatural, restless dead -- but her real enemies come in the form of those who use the idea of a "natural order" to oppress. Like in all the best zombie stories, the real enemy is the living. 

This book is fast-paced and exciting enough for any fan of action and adventure and has excellent historical details that any nerd like me will love.

I also highly recommend the audiobook, narrated by Bahni Turpin, who can make the serious moments feel serious and do each voice beautifully.
