Book Description
The zombie apocalypse was just the beginning of Emily's problems. Now the vampire hunter has to ride cross-country with Death himself in this thrilling apocalyptic adventure series! Two years after the zombie uprising devours 99% of the world's population, it's Emily Campbell's job to destroy vampire communes and rescue their human herds. When a mission goes wrong, and she's faced with certain undeath, she would rather kill herself than ever let them transform her.

Now neither alive nor dead, Emily finds herself stranded in the California desert with Death himself. If she can get him to help her, there's a chance she can cross the vampire- and zombie-swarmed continent to New York, where the remnants of civilization are developing a cure that could make her human again. But without his powers, Death is mired in a crisis of his own. And he is not used to having company.

Pages : 281
Book Description
A surprise–filled shellfish survey dishes up “ample oyster facts, figures and literary lore” (Publishers Weekly). When award–winning Texas food writer Robb Walsh discovers that the local Galveston Bay oysters are being passed off as Blue Points and Chincoteagues in other parts of the country, he decides to look into the matter. Thus begins a five–year journey into the culture of one of the world’s oldest delicacies. Walsh’s through–the–looking–glass adventure takes him from oyster reefs to oyster bars and from corporate boardrooms to hotel bedrooms in a quest for the truth about the world’s most profitable aphrodisiac. On the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Gulf coasts of the US, as well as the Canadian Maritimes, Ireland, England, and France, the author ingests thousands of oysters—raw, roasted, barbecued, and baked—all for the sake of making a fair comparison. He also considers the merits of a wide variety of accompanying libations, including tart white wines in Paris, Guinness in Galway, martinis in London, microbrews in the Pacific Northwest, and tequila in Texas. Sex, Death and Oysters is a record of a gastronomic adventure with illustrations and recipes—a fascinating collection of the most exciting, instructive, poignant, and just plain weird experiences on a trip into the world of the most beloved and feared of all seafoods.
