Is it really a favorite for me if it isn't described as "haunting"? Wow! A story of a zombie mourning her former lover and their quiet, beautiful life together before the end of the world. The monster-trope is so well-utilized here. The narration and world is heightened just so that is really draws out the grief, heartache, and struggle with morality. For fans of Carmen Maria Machado, Julia Armfield, and the 2013 classic 'Warm Bodies!'
