Written Backwards' Allevon series of illustrated trade paperback originals continues with Scott Edelman's Liars, Fakers, and the Dead Who Eat Them, a collection of two zombie novelettes, illustrated by Daniele Serra. A Vegan chef believes meat is murder. A determined waitress longs for stardom. He hopes to convince the world to abandon killing animals. She hopes to convince a director to make her a star. Both of those hopes are challenged when a zombie apocalypse traps them in small towns where their dreams might come true-or else be crushed under the weight of an invading undead horde. Join Tim and Shelley as they struggle to survive-and retain their sanity-in a world where death suddenly holds no dominion.
