Zharie loves to dance—West Coast Swing, specifically, which she used to dance with her mom before she inexplicably turns into a zombie a few days before her untimely death. Nearly a year later, Zharie just wants to hide away, but she needs to find out the truth about what happened to her mom, and her skater boy neighbor is determined to get her out of her shell (and also, he might be a zombie?). Set in Kansas City, this sweet and surprising slow burn love story and exploration of grief reads like a Vincent van Gogh painting with a twist of horror.
Graphic: Grief, Death, and Alcohol
Moderate: Death of parent, Gore, and Body horror
Minor: Infidelity and Vomit
