With wry humour and compassion, Lindqvist illuminates what the return of the dead might really mean to those who loved them: Mahler, alight with hope that his little grandson has been returned; David and his son Marcus, devastated by the loss of their adored Eva, and aghast at what she has become; Elvy, convinced this mass resurrection heralds the End of Days (and desperately hoping her late husband isn't back to stay); the government, which can't work out what to do with its newly restored citizens.
Equal parts family drama, social satire, piercing tragedy and disquisition on mortality, Handling the Undead is a zombie novel utterly unlike any other.
'Horror fans will rejoice...A macabre and strangely affecting tale, at once compassionate, witty and deliciously gruesome.' Age
