Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is completely reimagined in this unforgettable zombie love
story. 'R' is a zombie. He has no name no memories and no pulse but he has dreams. Amongst
the ruins of an abandoned city R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of
everything he knows - warm and bright and very much alive she is a blast of colour in a dreary
grey landscape. For reasons he can't understand R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her
and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins. This has never happened before. It
breaks the rules and defies logic but R is no longer content with life in the grave. He wants
to breathe again he wants to live and Julie wants to help him. But their grim rotting world
won't be changed without a fight... 'The zombie novel with a heart' Guardian SHAKESPEARE
