"The distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion."

—Albert Einstein, quoted in School of the Dead.

Ah, Halloween is approaching in the story. It appears School of the Dead was a good seasonal choice, irrespective of the story's ghosts. It's interesting, how many scary novels Avi wrote, many of which are virtually unknown today.

"Think about memory. You can't slice a memory like a loaf of bread, but you can smell it, taste it, and see it, right? Even though memories can't talk to you, memories are real."

—School of the Dead, P. 18

Cover art by a favorite of mine, Brandon Dorman. Rarely does he fail to create an engaging, cinematic book cover.
