Project Description
“Love and Cures for the Recently Undead” is the title of a book by H.J. Ramsay, which explores a post-apocalyptic world where a young woman, recently turned into a zombie, grapples with her new reality while navigating a potential romantic connection with the person who bit her, all while trying to find a cure and understand the psychological impact of her transformation.
Before, CeCe had it all: a tennis scholarship to Ohio State and a supportive family with a goofy little brother, a loving mom, and her veterinarian dad. After, it’s all gone. Cured two years later, CeCe’s mom is dead, her brother is missing, her dad is the new hero who discovered the cure to the Kill virus, and nothing in the world is the same.
Numb to everything and scarred by more than just the bite mark on her hand, CeCe no longer recognizes herself and the world around her post-zombie apocalypse. Her dad, though, wants life to go back to the way it was before. For him, CeCe is willing to go through the motions—tolerate his new girlfriend and attend school, even though a girl in her class is determined on making CeCe’s already miserable time that much worse. Until she runs into Derrick, the guy who’d infected her, and it changes everything. He has no memory of what he’d done, but will she tell him the truth of what happened that night when it might mean revealing secrets of her own?
A refreshing take on the zombie genre, Love and Other Cures for the Recently Undead explores the struggles in society working to recuperate after large-scale trauma, the psychological effects on an individual level, and the love and forgiveness that can be found throughout the recovery process. Character-driven and thought-provoking Love and Other Cures for the Recently Undead is perfect for fans of Warm Bodies, romance readers and zombie fanatics alike.
