Book Description
Carl Silverman, and Amanda Worthington, both seventeen, dating, in love and loving their school life, have their world turned upside down when a virus--known as the Odoru (dancing) virus--spreads throughout their city of Routeville, Illinois, turning ninety percent of the population into zombies. Only ten percent are immune, Carl and Amanda among them. Their parents became victims, and the young teens escape with the help of an older couple, Grover Plover and Genevieve Gray. They journey west and arrive in Placerville, California, where they set up camp as zombie slayers. Soon, their ranks swell as they meet Norm Barnett, another teen, and the Rodriguez triplets. Training begins, and the team of teens proves to be zombie killers supreme. While they have to contend with the usual results of the loss of modern technology--no internet, radio, or water power--they make do. They also have to contend with an incompetent city manager named Griffin who refuses to help. Things get bad when the Rodriguez trio dies in a battle. Worse, a more intelligent zombie--King Zombie--emerges, leading the undead in disciplined attacks. Carl is consumed by vengeance, and he vows to find this king and end his unlife--before the undead overrun the populace. Things get bad when the Rodriguez trio dies in a battle.

Edvil—Ed—a minion of Hell, is Lucifer's best soul-taker. Stationed in New York, he's very good at what he does. However, all his plans go by the wayside when Hell's accountants tell the overlord that they’re two souls over. There’s a balance, and that balance between souls up and souls below must be preserved at all costs. If the balance doesn't hold by the end of each year, then the world will be destroyed, and the rulers of Heaven and Hell will have to start the whole process of evolution all over again. Ed is given the task of helping two souls go topside. His assistant is Millie, a Halo—angel—and together, they have an almost impossible task. Furthermore, Ed's chief rival, Markus, decides to sabotage Ed's efforts for reasons of his own. Undeterred, Ed and Millie press on with their mission, and along the way they find out that they're much more into each other than they want to admit. After numerous setbacks, Ed discovers Markus' ultimate plan and has to do everything in his power to stop the final apocalypse from happening.

"It provides imaginative and thought-provoking... coverage of the ways in which religious thought and practice construct understandings of the human body." -- Journal of Asian Studies "Drawing on a remarkably diverse set of studies discussing the major Western religious traditions (including Islam) and East and South Asian traditions, the book challenges easy theorization of 'the body in religion.'... an excellent source book for college-level comparative religion courses...
