Rotten

by Tyler Jolley

Getting knocked unconscious in a tomb at the local cemetery wasn’t exactly how Calvin expected a game of truth or dare to go. Worse, all but one of his friends ditched him. But that’s the least of Calvin’s worries. He can’t sleep, his hair is falling out, and according to his best friend, Jaylen, he stinks of something awful. And now a mysterious stranger named Belmont has offered to help Calvin deal with his new condition and try to live a normal life—a normal life as a zombie!

Soon, fake hair, monthly embalming, wearing industrial strength deodorizer, and a steady diet of brains make up Calvin’s regular routine. He’s just starting to fit back into the norms of society when things take a turn for the worse, and Calvin wakes up one night covered in someone else’s blood. As his memories piece back together, he realizes something evil has taken control of his zombie body, and the murders start piling up. Calvin must race against time to put a stop to the sinister force bending his will and using him as a weapon, before he kills again.
