For fans of Chuck Palahniuk and Christopher Moore, a hilarious debut novel about life (and love) after death.Meet Andy Warner, a recently deceased everyman and newly minted zombie. Resented by his parents, abandoned by his friends, and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting to his new existence.But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls in Rita, an impossibly sexy recent suicide with a taste for the formaldehyde in cosmetic products, and Jerry, a twenty-one-year-old car-crash victim with an exposed brain and a penchant for Renaissance pornography.When the group meets a rogue zombie who teaches them the joys of human flesh, things start to get messy, and Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will take him from his casket to the SPCA to a media-driven class-action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere.Darkly funny, surprisingly touching, and gory enough to satisfy even the most discerning zombie fan, Breathers is a dark comedy and social satire about life, or undeath, through the eyes of an ordinary zombie. It's Fight Club meets Shaun of the Dead , only with the zombies as the good guys.

From the acclaimed author of Breathers --an irreverent novel about fate, destiny, and the karmic consequences of getting involved with humans.Over the past few thousand years, Fabio has come to hate his job. As Fate, he's in charge of assigning the fortunes and misfortunes that befall most of the human race-the 83% who keep screwing things up.Frustrated with his endless parade of drug addicts and career politicians, Fate has to watch Destiny guide her people to Nobel Peace Prizes and Super Bowl MVPs. To make matters worse, he has a five- hundred-year-old feud with Death, and his best friends are Sloth and Gluttony. And worst of all? He's fallen in love with a human.Getting involved with a human breaks Rule #1, and about ten others, setting off some cosmic-sized repercussions that could strip him of his immortality-or lead to a fate worse than death.

Wer wäre besser geeignet, um über den Zombiealltag zu sprechen, als Andy, der sich selbst in einen dieser vermeintlichen Widerlinge verwandelt hat? Seine Eltern verbannen ihn in den Keller, die Öffentlichkeit meidet ihn. Nur gut, dass es eine Selbsthilfegruppe gibt. Und nicht zu vergessen die - ehemals - attraktive Rita, die ein Auge auf ihn geworfen zu haben scheint. Eine durchgeknallte Satire - zum (Un)totlachen.
