Frank Mustard is the campaign manager for Governor Penny Mackerel, the likely next President of the United States. He knew the other party would do whatever they could to stop his candidate…but he never thought they would resort to murder and kidnapping. In the week before the first primary elections, members of the Mackerel campaign start to fall gravely ill with a strange, aggressive sickness that transforms them into walking corpses. Freelance journalist John Thursday, nemesis from Mustard’s past, suspects something is terribly wrong in the Mackerel camp and sets about getting to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, the Governor’s husband, Bud Mackerel, goes missing and an army of undead murderers--blood thirsty zombies, whose insatiable yearning for human flesh is eclipsed only by their urge to get laid--is set loose in middle America. Can Mustard rescue the Governor’s husband and find out who is behind this outbreak of zombie sexpots?
