As with Dead Jed, it turns the horror genre on its head. The vampires, werewolves, witches and similar characters discover they don't live forever, but do suffer from late-onset mortality.

Putting the word out

I'm assembling a grassroots marketing campaign to get Dead Jed's word out to local teachers and school librarians.
