Tim Seeley's rural noir, Revival, is a bang-up revitalization of the zombie-genre — the contextual mythos birthing something new and refreshing. Set in a rural Wisconsin where corpses have risen to walk among their community as regular folks untouched by death, the story follows Officer Cyprus as she navigates apocalyptic consequences of (un)dead proportion.

"Everyone thinks it's a miracle. But then they whisper and point. Ask me to heal them. My teeth just keep growing. I have to pull 'em out, so I can wear my dentures. Keeps me awake. I feel them moving around in my jaw... pushing up like sharp little daisies."
