The story is similar to that of Pinocchio except the cautionary aspects are regret of Zebulons. Zebulon is a morally dubious and duplicitous character. His narration is invigorating yet krass and cruel at the same time. The sex scenes and descriptions are quite alot. I was surprised considering the cover art; and the fact it follows a undead 17 year old. I was expecting more YA not adult themes. Or descriptions. Are just too carnal and visceral for my taste. Towards the end Zeubulon has sex as a corpse with a. Sex craved Hollywood actress and in the act his penis breaks off his body. Did not need the description
The positive down of the side characters like Burch Churchwell “Church” bring out the best of Zebulon. I will give vol.2 a try may change my opinion on this one
